A child receives the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination at the Fairfax County Government Center on November 04, 2021 in Annandale, Virginia. The federal government approved the coronavirus vaccine for children between the ages of 5 and 11 this week.
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky quickly endorsed the recommendation, the final step before the vaccines could be rolled out. And data from older children and adults show that vaccination prevents death, said Daley, a senior clinician investigator at Kaiser Permanente’s Institute of Health Research. In fact, he added, among people 5 years and older, the unvaccinated are 10 times more likely to die from COVID than the vaccinated.The vaccine made by Moderna for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds is a two-dose series, given four weeks apart. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for 6-month-olds to 4-year-olds is a three-dose series.
“This is a day a lot of us have been waiting for since the very beginning of the pandemic,” he told NPR. She pre-ordered both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and is expecting to start making appointments and giving the shots on Tuesday.
