So im subscribed to this baby newsletter as i have 2 kids. And i saw this article and was amazed. Ill copy and paste this snippet below

***When will children younger than 12 be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination?

There's been no official word yet, but preliminary clinical studies are already underway in younger children, and there are some signs that the vaccine might be available to them in the U.S. as early as this fall.

On a May 4 call with investors, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said his company plans to submit the applications for emergency use authorization in children ages 2-5 and 5-11 to the FDA in September.

Maldonado is running one of the several sites around the country enrolling children under 12 in research trials. "We will be looking very carefully at dosing and reactions to the vaccine and side effects in the very young children," she says.

According to Bourla, Pfizer also plans to share the results of studies on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in children ages 6 months to 2 years by the end of the year***
