Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are safe and effective for children 6 months old and up, clearing the way for its use in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup announced Sunday afternoon.
California's Workgroup is a joint effort of nationally-acclaimed scientists specializing in immunization and public health. Washington, Oregon, and Nevada joined California's Workgroup in October 2020. The group is also planning to assess other COVID-19 vaccines, the press release stated.
“Many families have been waiting for the opportunity to vaccinate their youngest members and I am happy that day has come. Families can have the peace of mind of the thorough review process these vaccines have gone through, but I encourage families to speak to a trusted health care provider about any questions they have," Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak stated.
"With today’s review by leading doctors, pediatricians, and health experts, Oregon parents and children can be confident in the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines for children as young as 6 months old," stated Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. She further urged Oregonians to reach out to their doctors to get any questions answered.
"These vaccines remain the most important tool in our continued efforts to keep people safe from severe COVID illness or hospitalization," Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said, also encouraging families to contact their trusted providers with questions on the vaccines.
