Anne Arundel Medical Center issued the following announcement on Nov. 1.
The FDA has authorized a smaller dose of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. The vaccines could be available by the end of next week. Our experts explain what parents should know about the vaccine.
As COVID cases in children continue to rise — and the delta variant continues to spread — health experts are cheering on the latest vaccine developments, including the possibility of a lower-dose vaccine that may be ready for kids age five to 11 in a matter of weeks. Aside from getting us one step closer to stopping the unprecedented spread of the virus, there’s no question what it will also mean when it comes to keeping our kiddos in school. http://ow.ly/ofUP50GsoKC
