FDA authorizes use of Moderna and Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months.

The Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccines are now authorized for emergency use in young children. The US Food and Drug Administration expanded the authorizations for the vaccines Friday to include children as young as 6 months.

However, shots can't be given until the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisers have voted on whether to recommend them -- a vote is scheduled for Saturday -- and CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky has signed off on that recommendation. The White House has said vaccinations for younger children may begin next week.Moderna's vaccine is now authorized for use in children 6 months through 17 years and Pfizer/BioNTech's for children 6 months through 4 years.

"We are dealing with an issue where I think we have to be careful that we don't become numb to the number of pediatric deaths because of the overwhelming number of older deaths here. Every life is important," he said, adding that"vaccine-preventable deaths are ones we would like to try to do something about.

This is probably part of the 'radical left' that Pence has been tweeting about today... Oh no Mike! We're protecting our kids and getting rid of dirty energy and PROVING that Global Warming is a thing! Oh but MAN all of that is SO evil. 🙄🙄🙄 GO HELP TRUMP MORE BITCH. 4 YEARS.

Every vaccines have some side effects now or later in lifetime so why expose so young ones to possibly danger in years ahead due to our failures to eliminate covid-19, they have to suffer.

How many children died to Covid?

World people. Listen. I'm talking about Iran. You have been lied to. Iran is paradise. Iran is very beautiful. The Iranian people are extremely kind. IranInReality Iran_in_reality IranInreality

Funny how moderna isn't giving people under the age of 30 in Europe now due to adverse side effects, but the US says it's ok for kids from 6 months old... The fact it has no effect on the latest variant of covid should also be taken into account.. Plenty of certified information

Hard pass.

Absolutely scary 😱😱!!

Not in Matooke republic

Child abuse by the state.

Destroy babies with a gene altering RNA cocktail.

🎪 🤡 📰

Monsters

With risk there must be choice. Informed Consent

Biden said the U.S. is the first country to provide the vaccines to young children. He added that parents will be able to start scheduling vaccinations as early as next week.

Great, jeopardizing children’s lives giving them the experimental jab! A jab with ZERO evidence that it does anything at all to make a child’s 99.999% survival rate any greater! Corruption at its highest level, all to line pockets of Fauci and other politician investors!

I guess if abortions go away this will be the next best thing

...horrible decision...EUA with minimal data...risk of harm is too great..

Only 1/3 of the 6y - teenagers have taken the shot. Less of our young healthies will take the genetic experimental shot.

Fauci with vaccines and boosters still got the virus. So how does vaccine stop the virus, it doesn't.

Criminal.

I wonder when cnn will start reporting the truth?

Now I’ll finally feel safe taking off the mask of my 1 year old. Anything for my baby

The same one that is banned in 30 other countries!?

Vaccines are safe and effective in fighting severe disease. Many people who chose not to get a vaccine are among the millions who have died. Vaccines have been successfully used. School children are required to have them to go to school. Ignorance in America is not a virtue.

There were 1,125 deaths from Covid from 2020-2022 in children 0-19 years. Risk factors should determine the need for the pediatric vaccine.

Not happening

CNNPolitics Of course they will is more money is all about the money and parents you do not even know the side effects to the vaccine do not do this to your children look at the side effects of paxlovid how come they gave you the side effects of that

Gotta keep that $$$ up somehow right? GTFOH

Love the comments fromthe trump university medical school graduates in here. Tis to laugh

The FDA, Moderna, and Pfizer only have your best interest in mind. 🤥

First time ever friends broke news to me

How can you continue EUA when the E is over?

Drug royalties, I wish I could get in on some of the action!

LOL...NOT A CHANCE!

Hahahahaha I’d rather inject myself with dirty needles than give that to my baby

CNNPolitics Europe does not. Remember that

If it were me they'd have to come with an army if they wanted me to allow them to inject my 6 month old child with this vaccine. Aye good luck with that 🥴

Nuremberg code

Wtf

there's no more emergency, there never has been, and the magic potion works in ways that are rather undesired

Help has to always be there
