Pfizer has asked the US Food and Drug Administration to authorize low doses of its COVID-19 vaccine for children under 5-years-old. The multinational pharmaceutical company might start vaccinating the youngest Americans as early as March. For its part, the Food and Drug Administration had asked Pfizer and partner BioNTech to apply earlier than they had planned. It has not yet been determined if two vaccination shots or three are needed for the children. No vaccinations have been made to date for the 19 million American children who are below 5 years old. A Pfizer vaccine for kids that age is now being developed.
