FDA to hear proposals to vaccinate younger kidsOpas: Wants more testingMoves are afoot to seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to administer Covid-19 vaccines to younger children, officials said on Thursday. China's Sinopharm has been tested on sample groups of children and the manufacturer is concluding its study before meeting the FDA soon. Meanwhile, Sinovac has already been used to vaccinate children in a number of countries. As the kingdom has sufficient stocks of all three vaccines, if the FDA approves their use for younger demographics, vaccination drives could begin immediately, officials said. Thailand has also asked Pfizer to secure a new generation of their vaccine for children to safely use.
