US Trial Finds Pfizer/BioNTech Vaccine Safe For 5 – 11 Year Old Children

The Pfizer/BioNTech covid vaccine has been found not only to to be “safe and well tolerated” but, according to the findings of a US trial, it can also produces a “robust” antibody immune response in children aged five to 11 years.

The researchers now plan to seek regulatory authorization as soon as possible to vaccinate children in that age range in the US, Europe and elsewhere.

Over 2,000 children took part in th study and were given two small doses of vaccine.

Trial results for the under five year olds are expected soon.

BBC reports: The findings, distributed in a press release, are the first of their kind for children under 12 – a trial of the Moderna vaccine in six to 11-year-olds is ongoing.

Both jabs are already being offered to adolescents over 12 in countries including the UK, which is just beginning its rollout of jabs to healthy teenagers

The young children in the Pfizer trial were given 10 microgram doses, rather than the 30 micrograms recommended for over 12s. Antibody responses and side effects were comparable. The under fives in the study are being given even smaller doses.

Dr Ugur Sahin, CEO and co-founder of BioNTech, said: “The safety profile and immunogenicity data in children aged five to 11 years vaccinated at a lower dose are consistent with those we have observed with our vaccine in other older populations at a higher dose.

“We are pleased to be able to submit data to regulatory authorities for this group of school-aged children before the start of the winter season.”

Although Covid is rarely severe in children, they can still catch and spread it and some will get very sick.

The UK has this week begun offering one dose of the Pfizer vaccine to children in secondary schools.

Although this won’t stop the virus circulating, it could help keep more pupils in class, say experts.

Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla said: “We are eager to extend the protection afforded by the vaccine to this younger population, subject to regulatory authorization, especially as we track the spread of the Delta variant and the substantial threat it poses to children.”

He added: “These trial results provide a strong foundation for seeking authorization of our vaccine for children five to 11 years old, and we plan to submit them to the FDA and other regulators with urgency.”

  1. Two important quotes,
    “Although Covid is rarely severe in children, they can still catch and spread it and some will get very sick.”
    and
    “Although this won’t stop the virus circulating, it could help keep more pupils in class, say experts.”

    So, 2,000 kids took low doses – not that I’m suggesting a larger test group, but 2,000 doesn’t tell you much, never mind that you don’t know the long term side effects. What if 1 in 10,000 kids die, or 1 in 100,000 from the vaccine? Versus 1 in a million dying from the virus itself?

    The “experts” say we should take the vaccine because sever side effects are “rare”, but then want us to jab our children BECAUSE the chance of severe covid is rare. Why the double-standard?

    And if it won’t stop the virus from circulating (how convenient), then why take the risk? And don’t give me any crap about it being about the kids staying in class. This is nothing more than a boondoggle and kids 5-11 represent a huge money maker.

    • They aren’t rare Here the government’s own website shows 483 aussie have died from the vaccine Truthfully no where near that many people actually REALLY died from covid. And they can ignore that because on average 400 people die a day anyway Look 5 people die every day From skin cancer alone here, from living the healthy aussie lifestyle of being outside at the beach getting fit One every 4 to 5 hours dies No where near that many died from covid but they make wearing a hat a sort of silly joke. They don’t close down the beaches and lick everyone inside on sunny days or anything at all. They just keep promoting the dream of buying house on the beach.Profits before people. That’s the truth.

    • No they know what the vaccines wool do They know it will help destroy the children’s natural immune system. You should always know, always the same always the opposite with then. All under their rule of law. “they in there hate truth and beauty” Pope Emeritus Benedict exposing the Vatican citizens.

      • But it is a balancing act because people herds of people flocks of people are big pharma bread and butter and especially they need an excess supply of disposable 20 to 35 year olds for the most profitable industry on earth being warfare.Bwcause they LOVE human sacrifice of the fittest and healthiest young men and women They have organised to get millions per annum. of innocent as possible babies by abortions already. They recycle them to maximise profits and especially traditionally the first born from any litter is the fittest naturally so they like to abort them They love it Do you understand.

  2. think of all that extra money they can make now!! not only off the vaxes but off the treatments of the side effects!!! and they are immune from liability, so they can’t be sued, but can sell them more medicines!!! nice gig if you can get it

    • Do you stand behind that comment? Do you know the first thing at all about this VAC? No you do not.

  3. A child’s immune system can do that anyway And give them natural immunity as the natural reaction, even to their expensive in natural diseases they cook up in their biowespibs labs acting as the good guys.

    • Bioweapons labs, funded by taxpayers and the profits extracted from taxpayers by corporations working hand in glove with corporate governments to deceive the world Like from Windows of opportunity to get power over the whole World by deception. Using science and technology as the spy and weapon. And tricking the public into paying way too much for it all so generating billions in greed driven profits really being just privatised tax collecting. And they all know it too.
