Here’s what you need to know
ll children 6 months and older are now eligible to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention haveconducted by vaccine makers Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech and unanimously determined that the shots are safe and effective for children.
Vaccine efficacy varies between the companies and among different age groups. That’s for a number of reasons: the trials were conducted during waves of different variants, trials for kids were relatively small, and very few kids tested positive for COVID-19 in the short time period during which they were studied.
Parents who want to get their young children vaccinated now have decisions to make, and figuring out when to vaccinate your kids—and with which vaccine—can be confusing.
