A study released Friday found that kid-size doses of Pfizer’s Covid vaccine are nearly 91 percent effective at preventing symptomatic infections in 5- to 11-year-olds.
Kid-size doses of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine appear safe and nearly 91 percent effective at preventing symptomatic infections in 5- to 11-year-olds, according to study details released Friday as the U.S. considers opening vaccinations to that age group.
Full-strength Pfizer shots already are authorized for anyone 12 or older, but pediatricians and many parents are anxiously awaiting protection for younger children to stem rising infections from the extra-contagious delta variant and help keep kids in school. A Pfizer study tracked 2,268 kids in that age group who got two shots three weeks apart of either a placebo or the low-dose vaccine. Each dose was one-third the amount given to teens and adults.
That’s important information considering that hospitalizations of mostly unvaccinated children reached record levels last month.
