When will children get the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine? Some 64% of people in the U.S. ages 12 and over are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Some older people and people with compromised immune systems have begun to receive booster shots as well. Vaccination among children ages 5 to 12 could start within weeks.
Pfizer and BioNTech said they are sharing data from a late-stage study with U.S. regulators and expect to file the application seeking authorization within a matter of weeks.
That could mean the companies’ Covid-19 vaccine is cleared for the young children between Halloween and Thanksgiving, a person familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
