"The other, which looked at hundreds of pediatric hospitalizations in six cities last summer, found that nearly all of the children who became seriously ill had not been fully vaccinated."

You think we don't notice the "fully vaccinated" line? @nytimeshttps://t.co/07jwaymJoz

Serious problems among children 5 to 11 who had received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine were extremely rare. Nearly all of the children who became seriously ill had not been fully vaccinated. https://t.co/fhZXUkoaks

Two new @CDCgov studies find: serious problems extremely rare among children 5 - 11 who received Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine; among hundreds of children under 18 hospitalized last summer, nearly all who became seriously ill were not fully vaccinated.https://t.co/LjmRMj8DAM

It seems like the best way to prevent serious illness from Covid, even among those already predisposed to avoid it, is by vaccination. Too bad 24 million Americans who are 0-5 can't be vaccinated. https://t.co/PD6GG4cvro

FDA is set to authorize Pfizer booster shots for 12-to-15 year olds by early next week, per two people with knowledge.

Parents have grown worried that these children have been disproportionately vulnerable as omicron spreads.

… Covid-19 could experience severe disease and reinforces the importance of vaccination of all eligible children to provide individual protection and to protect those who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated,” the authors of the study wrote. https://t.co/zNWWlKbtiw

So glad we got this one right. COVID vaccine in 5-11 years old is pretty benign. Has great potential to end hospitalizations. PS> only 2/3 of hosp had comorbidities with the major one being obese (>20% of kids are overweight or obese in this age group).https://t.co/OayqW6TmYu

Early next week for approval on boosters for 12+? ?‍♂️ ?

Come on @US_FDA @CDCgov. You know I love y’all, but get moving faster. Omicron sure is. This should have been done this week. Or meet on the weekend. https://t.co/Vl4t9DzA7l
