The booster dose is available to children five months after completing their primary series of two shots.
The companies submitted for an emergency use authorization from the FDA last month after a study found healthy children in that age group had a safe and strong immune response to the booster.
Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine authorized for younger children. Children in that age group get a dose that is equivalent to one-third of the dose given to adults.
FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said that during the omicron wave, more kids are getting sick and being hospitalized.
"Vaccination continues to be the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 and its severe consequences, and it is safe," Califf said. "If your child is eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and has not yet received their primary series, getting them vaccinated can help protect them from the potentially severe consequences that can occur, such as hospitalization and death."
Comment: It is a complete lie and manipulation. The available data about Pfizer's mRNA "vaccine" shows that is is a very dangerous experimental shot that can do much more harm than the virus itself.
There are life threating side effects like myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clots and death in many cases. Young males and children are especially vulnerable category when we talk about heart inflammation as a consequence of the mRNA vaccine.
In January, the FDA authorized Pfizer-BioNTech's booster shot for children ages 12 to 15 who complete their initial two-shot series.
That means younger children who received the second of the two-dose series before Dec. 17 are now eligible for a booster.
Only 28% of kids ages 5 to 11 are fully vaccinated, a rate much lower than the overall population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
When they approved the Pfizer vaccine for 5-11 year olds, one of the members of the approval panel said the following before voting yes:
"We’re never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it."

And that is just the tip of this evil iceberg.
