Advisers for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted to recommend approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Covid vaccines for children ages six months to five years.
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices unanimously endorsed approving Covid vaccines for young children, currently the only age group for which a Covid vaccine is unavailable.
CDC director Rochelle Walensky must give final approval to the move, and was expected to do so later on Saturday. Once Walensky gives her approval, Covid vaccines for children under age 5 may be available as early as Monday.
