Dr. Lisa Rabinowitz, a staff physician with the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), stated on April 23, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may soon decide whether to authorize the experimental mRNA Pfizer - BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 12–15.
The authorization request was submitted to the FDA on April 9, 2021. Pfizer indicated a Phase 3 clinical trial for this age group (about 1,200 participants) found that the vaccine is 100% efficacious and had a similar side-effect profile as those between the ages of 16 and 25.
When it does, communities across Alaska can immediately begin vaccinating children in this age group, said Dr. Rabinowitz in an Alaska DHAA Insight.
