Pfizer on Monday said that its Covid-19 vaccines work for children aged 5 to 11 and will begin the procedure to seek US authorisation soon.
The vacccine is already available for anyone aged 12 and above. With kids back in school amidst an outbreak of delta variant, many parents are anxiously awaiting vaccinations for their younger children.
For testing purposes, Pfizer used a much lower dose - a third of the amount being administered currently. 'After receiving their second dose, the children developed coronavirus-fighting antibody levels just as strong as teenagers and young adults,' said Dr. Bill Gruber, a Pfizer senior vice president.
'I think we really hit the sweet spot,' continued Gruber, who's also a pediatrician.
Earlier, FDA chief Dr. Peter Marks told AP that once Pfizer turns over its study results, his agency would evaluate the data &ldquo;hopefully in a matter of weeks&rdquo; to determine if the shots are safe and effective.
'Once the vaccine is authorized for younger children, they'll be carefully monitored for rare risks just like everyone else.' said Pfizer's Gruber.

Things to look out for while purchasing a hand sanitiser 

Hand sanitisers&nbsp;have become the need of the hour in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Know which sanitiser&nbsp;you should pick.
&nbsp;

Hand sanitisers&nbsp;have become the need of the hour in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp;
It is absolutely important to know which one to pick when you've got a range of sanitisers&nbsp;to choose from.
According to the&nbsp;US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, a&nbsp;sanitiser should contain at least&nbsp;60 percent of ethyl alcohol or 70 percent of&nbsp;isopropyl alcohol. Some other ingredients that have been approved by the Federal agency include&nbsp;sterile distilled water, hydrogen peroxide and glycerin.
The FDA&nbsp;has asked to avoid sanitisers that use toxic substances like methanol. Watch out for sanitisers&nbsp;packed in&nbsp;food and drink containers.
It is better to avoid making hand sanitisers&nbsp;at home yourself as incorrect ingredients or chemicals could have devastating consequences.&nbsp;
Experts also believe that hand sanitisers&nbsp;must only be used when hand washing is absolutely impossible.&nbsp;
