Moderna says it's going to seek authorization from health regulators to administer its COVID-19 vaccine to kids under the age of 6.
NORTH AMERICA/EUROPE - Moderna would like to receive approval to administer its COVID-19 vaccine to kids under the age of six.
It says the vaccine works for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers and it's going to seek authorization from health regulators in North America and Europe. If it's approved, young children could receive the vaccine this summer.
Health Canada just recently approved the two-dose vaccine for the six to 11 age group. Moderna had sent in that request back in November.
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization is recommending the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for kids at this time. It says the risk of heart inflammation in Moderna's child sized dose is still unknown.
