The Food and Drug Administration's action follows its advisory panel's unanimous recommendation for the shots from Moderna and Pfizer.
Comment: So the only authorized vaccines are of the mRNA variety.
That means US children under five - roughly 18 million youngsters - are eligible for the shots, about 1.5 years after the vaccines first became available in the US for adults, who have been hit the hardest during the pandemic.
The FDA also authorized Moderna's vaccine for school-aged children and teens. Pfizer's shots had previously been the only ones available for those ages.
There's one step left: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends how to use vaccines and its vaccine advisers are set to discuss the shots for the youngest children on Friday and vote on Saturday.
A final sign-off would come from the CDC director, Rochelle Walensky.
At a US Senate hearing on Thursday, Walensky said her staff was working over the Juneteenth federal holiday this weekend "because we understand the urgency of this for American parents".
She said pediatric deaths from Covid-19 have been higher than what is generally seen from the flu each year.
Comment: Really?!
"So I actually think we need to protect young children, as well as protect everyone with the vaccine and especially protect elders," she said.
Comment: With an ineffective vaccine?
For weeks, the Biden administration has been preparing to roll out the vaccines.
States, tribes, community health centers and pharmacies preordered millions of doses. FDA's emergency use authorization allows manufacturers to begin shipping vaccine across the country. Vaccinations could begin as early as Monday or Tuesday.
Comment: They sure aren't wasting any time are they.
Some parents have been anxiously awaiting the chance to protect their young children.
Comment: Because the only way to protect them is with a vaccine, right?
While young children generally don't get as sick from Covid-19 as older groups, their hospitalizations surged during the Omicron wave and FDA's advisers determined that benefits from vaccination outweighed the minimal risks.
Comment: Do they even know the full extent of the risks yet?
Studies from Moderna and Pfizer showed side effects, including fever and fatigue, were mostly minor.
Comment: Conveniently they make no mention of myocarditis, paralysis, or death in extreme cases.
The two brands use the same technology. But Pfizer's vaccine for kids younger than five is one-tenth of the adult dose. Three shots are needed: the first two given three weeks apart and the last at least two months later.
Moderna's is two shots, each a quarter of its adult dose, given about four weeks apart for kids under six.
The vaccines are for children as young as six months.

The vaccine is D.E.A.D.L.Y. BY DESIGN. Its only purpose is to cull, maim, and sterilize the population, while ushering in the population control grid with vaccine passports.
It does all of these things extremely well.

The Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA gene-edited vaccine resulted in the largest fatalities– 5,368 deaths and 170,528 injuries or nearly 50% of the total for all four.
within 6 months, this is mass genocide an continuing to this day, THIS MUST STOP, AN NOW YOUR FORCING BABYS THIS EVIL, FFS, NON WILL MAKE IT TO ADULTHOOD!!
Yet the major media worldwide and the US Government virtually bury the alarming facts.
Some 96% of the fatal results were from the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, the two variants funded and promoted by the Gates Foundation and Tony Fauci’s NIAID with the experimental mRNA genetic technology.
In a tragic sense, the experience with reactions to the two unprecedented mRNA experimental vaccines since rollout
is only now beginning to be seen
Few realize that the two mRNA vaccines use genetic manipulations that never before have been used in humans. And under the cover of urgency, US and EU health authorities waived normal animal trials and did not even approve the safety, but gave an “emergency use authorization.” Moreover, the vaccine makers were made 100% exempt from damage litigation.
The vaccine makers have a clever way of denial as to the toxicity of their mRNA vaccines.
fact that THEY HAVE literally exposED the human race via untested experimental gene edited mRNA vaccines to incalculable dangers which in the end may exceed by far any potential risk of damage from something which has been called SARS-Cov-2. Far from the much-touted miracle substance proclaimed by WHO, Gates, Fauci and others, the Pfizer, Moderna and other possible mRNA vaccines clearly hold potentially tragic and even catastrophic unforeseen consequences.
MASS GENOCIDE PLANET DEPOPULATION EXERCISE NOW IN WORKING ORDER!!
