LAREDO, Texas – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized a single booster of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 5 through 11 years of age at least five months after completion of their primary series. 

Pfizer’s clinical trial showed that a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine prompted a robust immune response in this age group, generating neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus regardless of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. The actions taken by the FDA would make all Americans 5 and older eligible for a booster shot.

“FDA/CDC pediatric booster approval ensures a higher level of COVID-19 protection amongst children over the summer and when returning to school in the fall,” says Dr. Richard Chamberlain, Health Director, “We continue to urge our community to get vaccinated; vaccines work, vaccines are safe, and vaccines save lives. Stay up-to-date with your vaccines”.
