Roughly 18 million kids will be eligible, but it remains to be seen how many will ultimately get the vaccines.
Less than a third of children ages 5 to 11 have done so since vaccination opened up to them last November.Two brands -- Pfizer and Moderna -- got the green light Friday from the FDA and Saturday from the CDC. The vaccines use the same technology but are being offered at different dose sizes and number of shots for the youngest kids.
However, exactly how well they work is hard to pin down, especially when it comes to the Pfizer vaccine. "It is worth vaccinating even though the number of deaths are relatively rare, because these deaths are preventable through vaccination," said Dr. Matthew Daley, a Kaiser Permanente Colorado researcher who sits on the CDC's advisory committee.
One consideration: It takes roughly three months to complete the Pfizer three-shot series, but just one month for Moderna's two shots. So families eager to get children protected quickly might want Moderna.Pediatricians, other primary care physicians and children's hospitals are planning to provide the vaccines. Limited drugstores will offer them for at least some of the under-5 group.
