Moderna on Thursday is expected to formally ask the FDA to authorize its Covid-19 vaccine for children under the age of 6
Moderna on Thursday is expected to formally ask the Food and Drug Administration to authorize its Covid-19 vaccine for children under the age of 6, three people with knowledge of the matter told POLITICO.
“Just remember that we can’t actually finish our reviews until we actually have complete applications in the FDA,” Marks testified to the Senate HELP Committee. “We will proceed with all due speed, once we have complete applications, some of these are complicated because they are relatively covering larger swaths of the pediatric population than others,” he added.
“Many families of young kids are hesitant to resume their normal activities until the vaccine is available to their kids,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in an interview. “Just put the facts in front of parents and let them make that decision.” The White House, for its part, has made clear that the decision is solely up to the FDA, the people said. Some officials over the past week have even gone out of their way not to discuss the vaccines with FDA regulators, for fear of being accused of political interference.
