Pfizer says its COVID-19 vaccine works for children ages 5 to 11 and that it will seek US approval for this age group soon

– a key step toward beginning vaccinations for youngsters.

Pfizer tested a much lower dose, a third of the amount that is in each shot given now, in young children.For primary school-aged kids, Pfizer tested a much lower dose – a third of the amount that is in each shot given now. Yet after their second dose, children ages 5 to 11 developed coronavirus-fighting antibody levels just as strong as teenagers and young adults, Dr Bill Gruber, a Pfizer senior vice-president, told The Associated Press.

The vaccine made by Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech already is available for anyone 12 and older.Earlier this month, FDA chief Dr Peter Marks said once Pfizer turns over its study results, his agency would evaluate the data “hopefully in a matter of weeks” to decide if the shots are safe and effective enough for younger kids.

Dr Gruber said he felt “a great sense of urgency” in making the vaccine available to children under 12. “There’s pent-up demand for parents to be able to have their children returned to a normal life,” he added.

What if it's your 12th birthday? It won't work?

It may work but is it better than the natural immunity of children - I doubt it. And then we run the risk that the kids will be dead or disabled as there is no proof that current vaccines are safe in the medium to long term.

I think there are better vaccines than this one. I want to go vaccine shopping. Also i would like to try ivermectin and zinc as I do know that ivermectin stops the neurological side adverse side effects. The s protein will killthem all

What about the heart issues?

Child abuse

Pfizer says and the bought news puppies agree without subjecting wether it has any true substance. Then again what would you expect

Independently reviewed yet?

God I hope they work fast, then the TGA and ATAGI approve it here. I want my boys protected.

they started with the elderly , then adults , Pregnant women, Teens and now children and babies ..they are giving the vaccine to cats and dogs ..what will they come up with next ? What freedom will they take from us next ? Coercion destroys your freedom of choice ..

👮‍♀️Israel failed with 2 jabs! Started so called 3rd and 4th booster jabs. Africa is doing better as they are taking artemisinin. India and Japan started Ivermectin! Who is collecting money from the vax ? Vax is positive related with infection! Time to have alternate treatments!

How much is being paid to promote Pfizer who are making $$$billions from vaccines?

Stop printing this BS

That’s great news, hopefully we can start trials here also.

Victoria’s COVID-19 roadmap revealedHospitality venues and places of worship will be permitted to operate outdoors under density limits, outdoor gatherings will be allowed for up to 50 people once 70 per cent of Victorians aged over 16 have been fully vaccinated roadmap lockdown Roadmap from a man unable to navigate a flight of stairs? Useless I’m fully vaccinated - no agenda here. To force ppl to vaccinate to keep their job in such a wide set of sectors & to force patrons is a violation of a person’s right to choose what they do with their own body. 80% - it shouldn’t matter. That’s what herd immunity is!

Victoria's roadmap out of lockdown outlined as state records 507 COVID-19 casesVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced that at 70 per cent double dose vaccination, lockdown will end, hospitality venues can reopen and school students will return to on-site learning for at least part of the week. “Subject to health system capacity.” This is what I wanted to hear freedom day not far away Big BIG mistake. The Victorian Health system is not equipped to deal with this and it flies in the face of the ama_media advice published today on the revised Doherty modelling. This will overwhelm EDs and ICUs in Victoria. Non-COVID emergencies will suffer.
