the company expects to seek emergency authorization for its vaccine in children age 6 to 11 by the end of this year or early next.“My guess is that the first group that will get [emergency use authorization] next will be the 5-to-11s, so the school-age kids,” said Talaat.
Talaat added, however, that the data in younger children would probably follow pretty soon thereafter — within “a month or two.”The delta variant, which first emerged in India, is far more contagious than the original virus strain, and while there have been breakthrough cases among those who are fully vaccinated, it disproportionately affects those who are not.
“Certainly the percentage of children, as a proportion of the total number of cases of COVID has gone up, because the adults are being vaccinated. So there’s fewer cases in adults, and proportionately more cases in children. And certainly the Delta variant is much more contagious,” Talaat said. “Is it more serious? We don’t know.
