Surgeon General: Getting a Vaccine for Kids 12 and Under ‘Remains FDA’s Top Priority’

EXCERPT:

BASH: “Real quick. We’re almost out of time. A question near and dear to both of our hearts, we have young kids. Any update on the timeline for getting children who are under 12 vaccinated?”

MURTHY: “Dana, what the FDA said recently was really an affirmation of what you and I have recently talked about which that getting a vaccination for kids for Covid-19 remains the top priority. They are ready as soon as the companies finish their trials and get the data to them, to process that quickly, to review it and make sure our kids have a vaccine that is both safe and effective.”
