Pfizer says testing has found two- to four-year-olds didn't have a strong enough immune response to the two very-low doses the company is testing in the youngest children.

Pfizer is testing three doses of its COVID-19 vaccine in babies and preschoolers after the usual two doses didn't appear strong enough for some of the children.Pfizer is testing a third dose for children rather than increasing the size of two dosesThe pharmaceutical giant announced the change after a preliminary analysis found two- to four-year-olds didn't have as strong an immune response as expected to the very-low doses the company is testing in the youngest children.

Pfizer and its partner BioNTech said if the three-dose study is successful, they plan to apply for emergency authorisation sometime in the first half of 2022.

Dark Ages come

Babies are not rats

So many government sheep will be ejaculating over this news! Parents that jab their kids have a special spot in hell waiting for them!

Are we seeing a need to vaccinate children

0 injections is strong enough, Childers are only victims of the vaccine not the virus!

vaxx for under 5's now way Jose. Why do this when they're already going through the routine vaccinations under the NIP. Its a huge risk for a young age group when their immune systems are adapting to the plethora of preventatives they're already being given

Stop buying poison, Pfizer is a money making machine. This is rubbish and does not work hence we’re still wearing masks,sill been told to isolate etc etc. wake up you idiots Pfizer is all for the money.

Yeah it’s all fun and games until a kid dies

HEALTH FIRST and STAY SAFE.

Just keep testing and experimenting eh. Not on my kids though. Perhaps consider doing some TRIALS for a few years first…

Give it a break for awhile

How about getting the vaccine right so multiple doses aren’t needed?

Don't forget. The vaccine for this cohort has never been justified. They are less at risk from covid as flu. Shame on the ABC and anyone in the medical profession of politics for letting this farce continue

pfizer we knew this since last year that two doses are not enough and this game will continue till next few months or years .!! Only anti viral drug is the solution for Covid-19.!!anyway good luck 🤞...

F...K Pfizer and the whole vaccine program😡😡😡

It doesn't seem like a Verry effective vaccine if you have to have 3 doses.

SPUTNIK V and Sputnik light have stronger longer lasting protection from oth variants 8 months

Great! This is science and pharmaceutical regulation working. 6 month to 4 year age group have been given 1/10 of an adult dose 2 times (with informed consent from parent/guardian), & now Pfizer will test 1/10 of adult dose 3 times. Older kids had smaller dose for bodyweight

(I’m about to be triple vaxxed)… Of course they fucking do 😂 candy shop owner says you need more candy

Pfuk Pfizer. We are living through a 2020/21 version of Dopesick….

Good of some parents to give their kids out for experiments

The left will keep batting for big pharma though. They'll call you an anti vaxxer if you express concern that they pushing a vaccine on kids that we don't yet understand the long term effects of, even though kids are mostly unaffected by the actual virus. Madness.

This is wrong. Vaccine doesn't stop spread, doesn't even prevent death according to NSW health stats, it just reduces ICU patients. Meanwhile you wanna mess around with kids immune systems? Disgusting.

They have already ordered 300 million doses for next year and opening a new Vax factory in AU. When will people wake up

Pfizer shareholders demand 2020/2021 profits are maintained and increased in 2022. This is business 101 and if you think any different you are kidding yourself !!

What a fantastic money spinner this all is for Pfizer and their mediocre vaccines.

Why not 5 does or better yet 6!

Shit Pfizer

I'm pro-vax but feeling uneasy about very young kids, toddlers and babies, having vaccines that are fairly new when their risk from Covid is so low.

Wow so how many boosters then? For life?

Repeat after me: Vaccine efficacy fades over time. Vaccine efficacy fades over time. Vaccine efficacy fades over time. Vaccine efficacy fades over time. Vaccine efficacy fades over time. Vaccine efficacy fades over time. Vaccine efficacy fades over time.

Testing on which kids? This Mengeleism is criminal in every imaginable way. The media enablers should be 1st in the dock
