COVID-19 vaccine eligibility for teens and even younger children appears to be on the horizon.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration may grant emergency use authorization to Pfizer-BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine for teens and children ages 12 to 15 any day now.
All people in America 16 years and older are already eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine, and anyone 18 years and older is eligible for Moderna or Johnson & Johnson.
Pfizer, which is currently conducting clinical trials with children as young as 6 months old, has said it will likely seek an emergency use authorization for its vaccine for children ages 2 to 11 in September.
Moderna - which, like Pfizer, received emergency use authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine from the FDA in December -- and Johnson & Johnson - which received emergency use authorization from the FDA for its vaccine in February - are also both currently conducting clinical trials with children.
The rapid pace of progress has left parents searching for answers as quickly as the science develops.
