What’s next: kids’ vaccines
The first coronavirus vaccines for adults are nearly here, but children’s vaccines will take a lot longer. Pfizer and Moderna’s pediatric trials are just getting started for children older than 12.
So what does that mean for the timeline to fully reopen schools?
For once, we have good news. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, told Adam last month that it’s “an extra added benefit when we get the vaccine for the kids,” but that it is not a prerequisite for reopening. That has been echoed by many teachers groups and medical experts.
