While the figures are increasing once again, however, there is now another new important development in the fight against Covid. On June 17, the Food and Drug Administration of the United States (FDA)chosen to develop Moderna and the Emergency Use authorization of Pfizer (EUA) to children as young as 6 months. The next day, the CDC approved the agency's decision,recommendation For children aged 6 months and 5 years to be vaccinated.

"Together, with science leading the accusation, we took another important step from our nation against COVID-19", CDC directorRochelle Walinsky, MD, said in a statement on June 18. "We know that millions of parents and caregivers are impatient to have their young children vaccinated, and with today's decision, they can."

All Americans over 5 years oldhave been eligible For vaccination since November 2021. But the last decision opened vaccinations at nearly 20 million additional children, according to the CDC.

On the one hand, the children have been among the least at risk individuals since the start of the cocovio pandemic. Fauci has confirmed that children generally develop only a light disease if they are infected with the virus. But this is certainly not always the case, because more than 400 children under the age of 5 have died of Covid, according to the infectious expert in disease. In this spirit, he advises that all parents - vaccinated or not - take their young children to get their vaccines now to mitigate the potential to end up becoming seriously sick.

"It is of extremely important importance that we protect our children," Fauci at Western Mass News told, adding that especially with "the children of this age group, who are particularly vulnerable, you want to be absolutely certain that you are dealing with a proven intervention to be effective and it is clearly sure. "

During the decision to enlarge the Moderna and Pfizer EUA, the FDA examined the security data for around 3,000 to 5,000 children from 6 months to 5 years which received one or the other vaccine. According to the agency, some of the side effects of the common vaccine for this age group included irritability and decreased appetite.

"There is always what we call reactogenicity, which is observed in any vaccine, namely swelling in the arm, occasional fever," added Fauci. "Rarely, a child will have a very high fever, but that has not been different from many other vaccines that we regularly give to our children."
