FDA advisers vote to recommend Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5 to 11
The final word will lie with CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, and vaccination could begin as soon as next week if she offers final approval.
Vaccine advisers to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted Tuesday to recommend Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11.
