FDA Authorizes Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 Vaccine for Young Children

The Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE was authorized for use in children as young as 5 years old, the first shot that federal health regulators have permitted for them in the U.S.

The decision by the Food and Drug Administration on Friday for children age 5 to 11 paves the way for one of the last remaining groups in the U.S. to get vaccinated against Covid-19, probably starting within days.
