The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is moving quickly to add the covid-19 jabs to the ever-expanding, childhood vaccine schedule. The committee will be taking a vote on [...]

What ive seen in the fda documents is that theyre recommending a period of about two months between the last booster and probably some weeks -- and i think the cdc and acip will talk about this today -- some weeks between your last infection and getting boosted. we know, though, that if youve been boosted previously, if youve been infected previously and you now get this booster, you should get a very broad, deep production of antibodies that will really protect people going into the fall and wi...

To the fda and told us more about this and how the cdc will be discussing this at the weekend. well, i wouldn�*t like to try and predict what my colleagues on the acip will say, but i can�*t imagine why they wouldn�*t, so, it seems to me the evidence is very strong and that they�*re likely to vote to proceed, yes. you say the evidence is strong, what benefits — can you run us through the benefits of why you think this should pass and it will pass? well, fundamentally, the data that we ...

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have practically endorsed CHILD SACRIFICE as an acceptable public health policy. The agency recently approved a third dose of spike protein mRNA injections [...]

The country. thank you. lets get some insight from the co-director-of-the-infectious disease center at the university of alabama birmingham. lets start with the fda and their decision to authorize booster shots for kids ages 12 to 15. why toss that matter? >> its good news because it is, as elizabeth says, gives parents one more arrow in their quiver to be able to protect their children, in this case their young adolescents to middle age adolescents from the omicron variant thats really sweepi...

Much made it very difficult for doctors to recommend now the j&j vaccine, which is unfortunate because it is a very good vaccine in two doses and has even some advantages over mrna in terms of, i think, more durable and longer lasting protection because it stimulates a type of cell called cda positive cells. with the acip coming out with that statement its going to be very hard to kind of walk it back. so right now i think a lot of the emphasis for the j&j vaccine is to try to do damage control ...

Hospitalized again mostly among the unvaccinated. and about vaccination, just to refresh your memory, the pfizer is now authorized and recommended for children from 5 to 17. children from 12 to 17 can get a booster. the fda authorized 12 to 15 and today is acip will meet about that for recommendation. and finally, a question that many ask and im sure many reporters with children are asking this. what about kids from six months to five years? those studies are ongoing now to get the right dose an...

Months up to 5 years of age. the ceo says he believes children of the age group will need three doses of the vaccine, that its best to begin getting the first two doses while the company waits for data on the third dose. do you agree with that? >> i think whats happening, anderson, with this omicron wave, theres been so many cases that allows you to get a signal whether these vaccines are working and confirm that theyre safe. so, i think whats happened with this omicron wave, theres enough confi...

That allows you to get a signal whether these vaccines are working and confirm that theyre safe. so, i think whats happened with this omicron wave, theres enough confidence in the data to move forward and put it in front of the committee and the acip to see if they agree that two doses is giving sufficient protection to move forward with the expectation that it would improve even more with the third dose. so, its a little bit unconventional, but it may make sense if theres sufficient data to giv...

Members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 14-0 to recommend the vaccine to younger kids.
