that they’re finding in the studies that kids ages 5-12 get a strong immune response with just a third of the dose that is given to adults, but again — studies are still underway.
Though the data is promising, Collins stated that simply looking at the timeline, if Pfizer submitted its data to the FDA for review by the end of September , the actual FDA approval may not come until the end of the year. “I’ve got to be honest, I don’t see the approval for kids — 5 to 11 — coming much before the end of 2021,” he explained.
Dr. Peter Marks, the director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, corroborated those facts and told that the vaccine makers are still running trials on vaccine efficacy and dose strength, so there’s not much they can do if the vaccine data isn’t submitted to them yet.
