CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - The FDA and a CDC advisory committee are meeting next week to potentially give Emergency Use Authorization to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for kids ages 12 to 15.
This also comes as the company applies for FDA approval of its vaccine for ages 16 and older, which is currently being administered under Emergency Use Authorization.
Atrium and Novant Health are working through plans to provide the shot to the expanded age group as soon as possible once it is authorized next week.
