Pfizer To Seek COVID Booster For Healthy 5- To 11-Year-Olds

The video discusses the authorization of COVID-19 booster shots for children aged 5 to 11. Pfizer's data suggests that a smaller booster dose can help develop antibodies in this age group. Pfizer plans to request formal authorization soon. Currently, Pfizer's vaccine is the only option for children under 12. CDC data shows over 22 million children and adolescents aged 5 to 17 are fully vaccinated, with more than 23% having received a booster. However, vaccination rates for ages 5 to 11 remain low.
