Dr. Anthony Fauci says children younger than 4 will likely be getting three doses of the COVID vaccine

It wasn’t that long ago that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was approved for children ages 5 to 12 — Big Bird, whom we’re told is 6, tweeted about getting vaccinated on November 6 and reported that his wing was feeling a little sore, but that was it.

The New York Post is reporting on clinical trials for children as young as 6 months. There are two clinical trials going on right now of the Pfizer vaccine: one for children from 6 months to 2 years old, and one for children between 2 and 4, and Dr. Anthony Fauci says the second group will likely be in for the three vaccination regimen.

The Post reports:

“Dose and regimen for children 6 months to 24 months worked well, but it turned out the other group from 24 months to 4 years did not yet reach the level of non-inferiority, so the studies are continued,” Fauci said, referencing effectiveness standard comparison to adults.

“It looks like it will be a three-dose regimen.”

We still can’t believe states are mandating masks for 2-year-olds.

We’re not seeing a lot of enthusiasm in the replies for the three-shot regimen for the little ones.
