Kids ages 5 to 11 could get a Covid-19 vaccine as soon as the first week in November in the U.S., a relief for parents as children are increasingly contracting the virus and a potential political boon for President Joe Biden.
Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE said Thursday they’d finished submitting data to the Food and Drug Administration ahead of an advisory panel meeting set for Oct. 26. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention meeting will be set for the week of Nov. 1, a person familiar with plans said, with clearance possibly coming as soon as the day of that meeting.
