A Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advisory committee unanimously voted to recommend Pfizer\u2019s and BioNTech\u2019s Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 on Tuesday.\u00a0Just hours later, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky signed off<\/a> on the final decision.<\/p>\n

The decision paves the way for some 28 million eligible children in the United States to get the jab.<\/p>\n

Hospitals and pharmacies can administer the shot for kids as soon as Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, with science leading the charge, we have taken another important step forward in our nation\u2019s fight against the virus that causes COVID-19,” said Walensky. “We know millions of parents are eager to get their children vaccinated and with this decision, we now have recommended that about 28 million children receive a COVID-19 vaccine. As a mom, I encourage parents with questions to talk to their pediatrician, school nurse or local pharmacist to learn more about the vaccine and the importance of getting their children vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n
