A Stanford doctor who has been working with Pfizer on COVID vaccines for young children, says the shot developed for those under 5 is safe.
A new law what would add the COVID vaccine to a list of required vaccinations for kids in California schools is causing a debate among parents.Studies found that two of the extra-low doses were found to be strong enough for babies but not two to four-year-olds so Pfizer is testing three shots."We haven't seen any concerns about safety. So that's always the big, big issue," she said,"That's the main point.
In the coming weeks, the FDA may consider authorizing two shots, with a third shot being cleared later on if the study supports it.A moment parents like Conwell can't wait for. "The relief of knowing that we can go to a restaurant, we can go to the library, we can go on a flight," Conwell said,"While, he still may get it, he's still more protected, and the symptoms will be reduced if he has the vaccination."
