"While it has largely been the case that COVID-19 tends to be less severe in children than adults, the omicron wave has seen more kids getting sick with the disease and being hospitalized, and children may also experience longer term effects, even following initially mild disease,” FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said in a statement.
Assuming no changes are made to the FDA's recommendation from the CDC, booster shots could be given as early as Friday. While the coronavirus is comparitively more dangerous to adults, kids can get severely ill – more than 350 children ages 5 to 11 have died, according to data from the CDC.
