\"\"<\/a>Moderna<\/strong> is seeking emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration<\/strong> for its COVID-19 vaccine<\/strong> for children 6 months through 5 years of age.<\/p>\n

CNN reports no COVID-19 vaccines have been authorized for children younger than 5 in the US — about 18 million people — and a timeline to potential authorization is not yet clear. Moderna officials have said the FDA is expected to move fast, and a Pfizer<\/strong> official suggested its vaccine for younger children could be available in June, if it’s authorized.<\/p>\n

FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Director Dr. Peter Marks<\/strong> called vaccines for younger children “one of our highest priorities,” but acknowledged the agency needed complete applications from vaccine manufacturers in order to finish its review.<\/p>\n

The FDA will ask its independent vaccine advisers to weigh in on vaccines for younger children, too, and Marks said the agency would release a timeline for advisory committee meetings in the next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
