View Comments More vaccine doses will be sent to New Jersey pediatricians and family practices as the state ramps up its vaccination campaign among adolescents and prepares for inoculating young children, possibly in the fall, state officials said Wednesday. The move comes a day after Pfizer said it expects to request federal authorization in September or October to provide the vaccine to children ages 5 to 11, and a little later in the fall for younger children. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have also begun testing their vaccines on youngsters. Vaccines have been allocated only to 180 primary care practices so far in New Jersey while more than 1,000 practices have requested them, Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli said at a briefing.
