The CDC's vaccine advisers are expected to vote Saturday to allow children under 5 to receive COVID-19 vaccines.
The move comes after the Food and Drug Administration authorized Moderna’s and Pfizer’s COVID-19 shots for that age group on Friday.
Pfizer would come as a three-dose vaccine for children 6 months to 4 years old, and Moderna’s two-dose vaccine would be for children 6 months to 5 years old.
