With Pfizer's COVID-19 booster shot approved for kids 5-11, doctors remind parents that kids are recommended to get the booster after the second shot.
HOUSTON, Texas -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday that the Pfizer booster shot would give eligible children increased protection from severe illness or death as COVID-19 cases have increased across the country.
The CDC is expanding the Pfizer booster shot eligibility for children between the ages 5 to 11 and pushing the recommendation for children 12 and over who are immunocompromised to receive a second booster shot. Dr. Jim Versalovic, pathologist-in-chief at Texas Children's Hospital, said most children do not appear to experience adverse or severe reactions to the children's booster shot.
