CDC Recommends Pfizer Shot for Kids Ages 5-11

On Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 years old.

“The endorsement, by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on Tuesday, was the last step before doctors, nurses and pharmacists could start giving the shots,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

“Together, with science leading the charge, we have taken another important step forward in our nation’s fight against the virus that causes Covid-19,” Walensky said in a statement Tuesday evening.

“As a mom, I encourage parents with questions to talk to their pediatrician, school nurse or local pharmacist to learn more about the vaccine and the importance of getting their children vaccinated,” Walensky noted.

Walensky has previously said she thinks kids should keep wearing face coverings in school even after they’ve received a COVID-19 vaccination. (Read more from “CDC Recommends Pfizer Shot for Kids Ages 5-11” HERE)
