Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine is effective for children as young as 6 months old, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists said in a new analysis published late June 11.
“Available data support the effectiveness of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in pediatric age groups from 6 months through 17 years of age,” the scientists said in the document (pdf).
The analysis was filed ahead of the agency’s meeting with advisers with regards to requests for emergency clearance from Moderna and Pfizer for their COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months old. Moderna is also seeking clearance for other adolescents, while Pfizer’s shot is already available to children aged 5 and older.
