As the COVID pandemic continues, the FDA has just approved Pfizer's vaccine boosters for children ages 5-11.
More from the AP: The U.S Food and Drug Administration announced the update Tuesday, a win celebrated vaccine advocates seeking to protect the nation's youngest. The decision now falls to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on whether to formally recommend the vaccine for that age group.
The CDC’s scientific advisers are scheduled to meet on Thursday.
The booster shot is 10 micrograms, which is the same dosage given during the primary series of vaccines for that age group. Older patients receive larger doses when getting vaccinated.
Children as young as five were allowed to get the Pfizer shots since last year, but were unable to get boosters, even as their use was expanded to most U.S. adults.
