The Pfizer Vaccine Might Not Offer Enough Protection Against Infection For Children Aged 5-11

Hotez stated that while the vaccine has been able to protect against severe illness, it is not clear if this protection is still being maintained or if it is just due to the omicron variant.

Pfizer announced that it was rescheduling its application for vaccines to the FDA for children 6 months to 4 year olds. This was after it discovered two doses of vaccines did not work in children 2 to 4.

According to the company, it will wait for data regarding a three-dose vaccine series.
