COVID-19 ALERT: Kids ages 5 to 11 should get a booster dose of Pfizer’s COVID19 vaccine, advisers to the U.S. government said Thursday. MORE:
The hope is that an extra shot will shore up protection for kids ages 5 to 11 as infections once again are on the rise.
Ultimately, the committee pointed to growing evidence from older kids and adults that two primary vaccinations plus a booster are providing the best protection against the newest coronavirus variants. But for the 5- to 11-year-olds, it’s not clear how much booster demand there will be. Only about 30% of that age group have had the initial two Pfizer doses since vaccinations opened to them in November.
