Changing Hands by Don Denton

to have confidence in vaccinating their children. She said that the best strategy is to convey how the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks, and to help parents understand that vaccination is the best protection.

What’s Next

Even if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA grant a EUA, children 5 to 11 are at least a week away from getting their first dose. The FDA will consider the committee recommendation before making its decision. If CDC Director Rochelle Walensky approves, vaccination could begin nationally as early as the following week, starting Nov. 8, CNN reported.

The recommended dose for children is a third that of adults ‒ 10 micrograms to the adult dose of 30 micrograms, said a representative for Pfizer. It will be packaged 10 doses per vial, with a unique label and different-colored cap. “The pediatric doses will be available in smaller packaging configurations to better suit the needs of pediatric clinics,” the representative said.

That means new vaccines need to be ordered for children. DC Health said it anticipates being able to order vaccines once the CDC approves the EUA. The Biden administration said Oct. 20 that there will be sufficient supplies of the Pfizer vaccine for eligible children. The White House told the Associated Press that about 15 million doses could be shipped to providers in the first week after approval by the CDC and FDA.

According to Pfizer, clinical trials indicate the vaccine is 90% successful in preventing asymptomatic infection in children aged 5 to 11. As of Oct. 26, the Washington Post Vaccine Tracker reported that 73.7% of the District’s population had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, with 62.1%, or 431,798 people, fully vaccinated.
