FDA authorizes Pfizer Covid booster dose for kids ages 5 to 11 years old

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday authorized a Pfizer booster dose for children ages 5 through 11 years old at least five months after they complete their two-dose primary series. Dr. Peter Marks, head of the FDA division responsible for vaccines, said data increasingly shows that the protection provided by two shots wanes off over time. The FDA determined that a third shot can help boost protection for children in this age group and the benefits outweigh the risks, Marks said. The FDA did not convene its committee of independent experts to discuss the data before authorizing the booster dose. New hospital admissions of people with Covid have also increased 8% over the past week, according to the CDC.
