The American Academy of Pediatrics, a non-profit professional organization consisting of more than 67,000 primary care pediatricians. penned a letter to Janet Woodcock, Action Commissioner of the FDA. In it, they urge the agency to “continue working aggressively toward authorizing safe and effective COVID-19 vaccinations for children under age 12 as soon as possible.” As of this writing, only the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine has been authorized for kids and teens, ages 12-17.
