Pfizer has said it will submit data in September. Then it's up to the FDA.
Here's what we know so far about when a safe and effective vaccine for children under 12 will be authorized by the Federal Drug Administration:Pfizer has said it will submit vaccine safety data on 5- to 11-year-olds by the end of September. Moderna has said it will do so in the middle of the fall. It will then be up to the FDA on how quickly it grants the authorization.
The vaccine for children ages 5 through 11 would be the same composition, but a smaller dose. For Pfizer, children under 12 would receive 10 micrograms, while everyone 12 and older receives a 30-microgram dose.Some have urged the FDA to move more quickly to authorize the shot because of the toll the delta variant is taking on children.
"We really think that we need to be approaching the trials in the authorization of the COVID vaccine for children with the same urgency that we did with adults," Beers said in the interview.FDA insists it won’t cut any corners

Fauci hopeful COVID vaccines get full OK by FDA within weeksThe U.S. government's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said Sunday that he was hopeful the Food and Drug Administration will give full approval to the coronavirus vaccine by month's end and predicted the potential move will spur a wave of vaccine mandates in the private sector as well as schools and universities. The FDA has only granted emergency-use approval of the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, but the agency is expected to soon give full approval to Pfizer. The Biden administration has stated that the federal government will not mandate vaccinations beyond the federal workforce, but is increasingly urging state and local governments as well as businesses to consider such mandates.
