Be Ready to Dispense COVID-19 Vaccine for Kids 5 and Up

December 2021

More questions will come up about COVID-19 vaccines for kids...now that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is authorized down to age 5.

Data suggest this vaccine has about 90% efficacy in kids 5 to 11 years old...and side effects (sore arm, etc) similar to older patients.

These kids will get 2 IM doses, 3 weeks apart...like adults.
