WASHINGTON, Oct 15 — The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said yesterday that Covid-19 vaccines may not be initially recommended for children, when they become available. Pfizer Inc has said it will enroll children, who are capable of passing on the virus to high-risk groups, as young as 12 in its large, late-stage Covid-19 vaccine trial, while AstraZeneca has said a sub-group of patients in a large trial will test children between five to 12.
The CDC also said yesterday that any coronavirus vaccine would, at least at first, be used under the Food and Drug Administration's emergency use authorization, and that there could be a limited supply of vaccines before the end of 2020.
