In a highly anticipated announcement, Pfizer said on Monday a Phase 2/3 trial showed its Covid-19 vaccine was safe and generated a"robust" antibody response in children ages 5 to 11.
These are the first such results released for this age group for a US Covid-19 vaccine, and the data has not yet been peer-reviewed or published. Pfizer said it plans to submit to the US Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization soon.The trial included 2,268 participants ages 5 to 11 and used a two-dose regimen of the vaccine administered 21 days apart. This trials used a 10-microgram dose -- smaller than the 30-microgram dose that has been used for those 12 and older.
Coronavirus infections have risen"exponentially" among children across the United States, and now account for nearly 29% of all cases reported nationwide, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported last week. Still, US health officials have emphasized that children are not just small adults, and even those approaching age 12 should not be given the larger vaccine dose available for older people. "We don't want children to have adverse effects.
How about long term thats the question you should ask. How long has the study’s been taking place how many children was it done on what were the results who did the study ask these questions are the ones that should be asked.
And when this goes wrong and our kids have reactions we have no one else to blame but ourselves for being so stupid as to allow this. Use your heads stop being yes mans/women
Ridiculous!
If you are vaccinated and protected from Covid why are u worried about the un vaxed 🤔
Kids are 99.99 chance of not getting the wu flu why would u take a chance with a vaccine that has just been rolled out?
Not for my kids, sorry that's where I draw the line. For me its fine, but not my children.
😂😂😂😂
Thats what they said about the last vaccine for adults. Turns out 'natural immunity' is better.
Ok but what about 12-17 hamari koi feelings nhi hai? Ham robots hai?
Can't wait for my under twelve years of age daughter
Pfizer Congratulations! Science is working wonders to protect kids & adults from COVID. US is fortunate to offer this life-saving gift, yet Trumplicans are stuck in their circus of anti-vax clowning farzana’s interview Stay sage
A bit of a hijack here, grandkids were exposed to, had C-19 and have since recovered and are healthy. That said; the hijack. My vax status is between me and my Dr. If the vax is effective, shouldn't we be leaving it to personal choice instead of using V-status to divide society?
You motherfuckers better leave the kids outta this. It's not going to workout the way you think.
I rather JNJNews I trust it more pfizer is all about money 💰
Amen.
Right up to the point where they drop dead…
shitshowjoe
However, your boys 12 to 15 are shown to be at risk of heart threatening side effects…
Pfizer says the Pfizer covid vaccine is safe.
In an age group that doesn’t have serious issues with COVID to begin with, why are we pushing experimental drugs on them?
Nope. Nice try.
White people can put it to their children
You can put it to your children
Based on how FDA rules for boosters, they may not approve the vaccine for 5-11 unless they have a high risk medical condition.
Lol
My county has a 93% vax rate for ppl over 12. This can help close the gap here. But remember we need everyone elsewhere to vax, as people travel.
You would have to be insane to vaccinate a child with a healthy immune system with these posions. What are the medium to long term effects?
Sure are a lot of “scientists” on here 😚
Just not needed
BS
suuuure. why the fk would u administer vaccines to children who dont need them? the flu is exponentially worse for children without ANY vaccine. any parent that is allowing this is committing child abuse.your problem is your lack of education or intellectual curiousness, on you
It's not safe for my children. The end.
Let’s get dressed in proper order and let FDA Approve the vaccine in peds before there is unnecessary public confusion which WILL lead to decreased vaccination rates. Enough with the forward statements.
How does it give 5-11 year olds robust antibody response while telling the rest of us we need a booster?
Just ignore the myocarditis.
No, more fake news.
McDonald's: Big Macs are safe and show robust physical health response.
Fear should never force an experimental drug!!!! Especially around little ones!!!! Lord, I ask for a stop to this and that the truth will be exposed!!!!
Seriously, would you expect CNN say anything else?
they don't even have trials,,,,im vac,,,, but I don't know about this one...
Child abuse
They now want to ki, ll kids with the de, adly vac, cine
I’ll get my 11 year old vaxed as soon as I can. Thank you scientists and health care workers!
Why are we vaccinating a population that by and large doesn’t get sick. Let natural immunity handle this.

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
❤️❤️ been waiting for this
You got me FCKED up. Absolutely not.
God help us
Participants' immune responses were measured by looking at neutralizing antibody levels in their blood and comparing those levels to a control group of 16- to 25-year-olds who were given a two-dose regimen with the larger 30-microgram dose.
