More than 700 children and teens under 18 have died of COVID-19 in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic,Pfizer has conducted clinical trials with its COVID-19 vaccine on kids ages 5 to 11 since last year and the company's most recent data shows that it was nearly 91% effective against symptomatic illness.
"I think this is a tribute to our dedication to vaccine safety throughout all of these trials," he said.For kids, the Pfizer vaccine will be smaller, one-third of the adolescent and adult dose. When it comes to dosing, differing immune systems among people of different ages help explain why the cutoffs for vaccine eligibility rest on age and not body size.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use mRNA technology, which doesn't enter the nucleus of the cells and doesn't alter human DNA. Instead, it provides a genetic"instruction manual" that prompts cells to create proteins that look like the outside of the virus -- a way for the body to learn and develop defenses against infection.
