Pfizer-BioNTech Seeks to Expand Omicron Booster to 5- to 11-Year-Olds
fizer asked U.S. regulators Monday to expand use of its updated COVID-19 booster shot to children ages 5 to 11.
Elementary school-aged children already received kid-sized doses of Pfizer’s original vaccine, a third of the dose given to everyone 12 and older—two primary shots plus a booster.
If the Food and Drug Administration agrees, they would start getting a kid-sized dose of the new Omicron-targeted formula when it was time for their booster.
Updated boosters made by both Pfizer and rival Moderna rolled out earlier this month for everyone 12 and older.
