Pfizer Inc and its German partner BioNTech SE have applied for emergency use authorization of their Omicron-adapted COVID-19 vaccine in the United States as a booster dose for children aged six months through four years, the companies said on Wednesday. The Omicron-adapted vaccine is currently authorized by the U.S. health regulator as the third dose of the three-dose primary course of vaccination in the country for children in this age group.

The Omicron-adapted vaccine is currently authorized by the U.S. health regulator as the third dose of the three-dose primary course of vaccination in the country for children in this age group.

If the Food and Drug Administration authorizes the vaccine as a booster dose, children who have completed their primary series - either with three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech's original vaccine or with two doses of their original and one dose of the adapted vaccine - would be eligible to receive the booster dose at least two months after the completion of their primary series.

The companies plan to also submit applications to the European Medicines Agency and other global regulatory authorities to extend the marketing authorization of the Omicron-adapted vaccine to include its use in children under five years as both the primary course of vaccination and booster dose.

Article misleads on safety of Pfizer vaccine ingredientAn article and social media posts claim an ingredient in Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine is not safe for humans, citing a data sheet from a US chemical corporation. This is misleading; the company says it does not manufacture the compound in the shot -- and the document pertains to research-grade chemicals, which health experts say do not undergo the same strict regulatory approval process. People aren't sharing it because they believe that it is true. They believe that the vaccine is dangerous, so they share the post. Truth is mostly irrelevant to these sorts of people.
