The study was too small to spot any extremely rare side effects, such as heart inflammation that sometimes occurs after either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, mostly among young men.
Moderna said it plans to submit its pediatric data to the FDA and global regulators soon. The FDA hasn’t yet ruled on the company’s application to expand its vaccinations to 12- to 17-year-olds, although some countries have cleared Moderna’s shots for adolescents. But the U.S. is expected to begin vaccinating kids under 12 sometime next month, if the FDA clears small doses of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds. Pfizer reported last week that its kid-sized doses proved nearly 91% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in the younger age group, even as the extra-contagious delta variant was spreading widely.
FDA’s advisers will deliberate Pfizer’s evidence in a public meeting Tuesday. If the agency authorizes Pfizer’s kid shots, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the following week is set to recommend who should receive them.The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

Fresh lockdowns in China as local Covid-19 infections spread to 11 provincesAuthorities in northern China are reimposing lockdowns and other emergency measures to curb the spread of coronavirus, with health officials warning of a worsening outbreak after the country recorded more than 100 cases across 11 provinces over the last week. China has the most scientific and strict epidemic prevention measures in the world, and the Chinese people have excellent public morality to abide by the epidemic prevention measures. I believe that the epidemic situation will soon be clear, as before. In west,it is pretty good day if only have 100 cases in 11 countries(Chinese 11provinces can be considered more than 11countries).But they can never achieve such greatness.
