Why a Covid-19 vaccine for younger children is taking longer than a vaccine for adults

in healthnews •  3 years ago 

Anxiety is high among parents as more kids head back to school without the protection of a Covid-19 vaccine for at least a few more months.

Parents have a reason to be concerned. After months of declining cases, the virus is finding the unvaccinated.
Adolescents as young as 12 can be vaccinated against Covid-19, but younger children aren't eligible yet. Children made up nearly a quarter of the reported cases for the week ending August 26. The numbers have "increased exponentially," reaching levels the United States hasn't seen since last winter, the American Academy of Pediatrics said Tuesday.
Children have largely been spared the worst of Covid-19 -- hospitalizations and deaths are more rare for children than for adults -- although children's hospitals are filling up in Covid-19 hotspots around the country.
A kids' vaccine cannot come soon enough, but the process is taking longer than some initially expected.
"We had really hoped that maybe we would have something in place before we tried to bring kids back into the school classroom, but, unfortunately, we haven't been able to do that," said Dr. Emily Chapman, senior vice president and chief medical officer at Children's Minnesota.
Timeline for younger children's Covid-19 vaccines
