COVID-19 Vaccines

New Jersey is prepared to vaccinate children ages 5 to 11 against the coronavirus as early as next week, state health officials said.

U.S. health advisers have endorsed kid-size doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for younger children.

The U.S. is expected to begin vaccinating children under 12 sometime next month, if the FDA clears low doses of the Pfizer vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds.

FDA and CDC authorized the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson boosters, along with Pfizer’s. Here’s what you need to know now that they’re all available.

Federal scientists say kid-size doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine appear highly effective at preventing symptomatic infections among elementary school children.

The shots could begin early next month — with the first children in line fully protected by Christmas — if regulators give the go-ahead.

More than 70% of Philadelphians are vaccinated, and the health department aims to reach the remaining third.

Federal health officials say millions more Americans can get a COVID-19 booster and choose a different vaccine for that next shot.

The Food and Drug Administration authorized booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccines made by Moderna and Johnson & Johnson following unanimous votes by a committee.

All future contractors for the state of New Jersey must prove that they or their employees are vaccinated or be subjected to weekly testing for COVID-19.

Plus, less than a quarter of all firefighters submitted proof of vaccination. Officials again declined to impose a tougher mandate on municipal workers.

Within hours of formal approval, expected after the CDC advisory meeting scheduled for Nov. 2-3, COVID vaccine doses will begin shipping to providers across the country,

Penn Med researchers found that memory T and B cells play a significant role in fighting COVID-19 even 6 months after vaccination.

The upcoming FDA announcement is likely to come along with authorization for boosters of the Moderna and J&J shots and follows the authorization of a third dose for Pfizer.

Those who qualify for vaccine booster shots can now book appointments through the state’s scheduling system.
