In December, the clinical trials for the COVID vaccine failed to provide immunity for young children, so more doses were recommended and now the FDA is considering vaccine approval for babies 6 months and older.Â
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/17/health/pfizer-vaccine-children/index.html
The FDA has scheduled a meeting for Feb. 15 to consider the proposal. If the thought of infants getting vaccinated with a drug with proven side effects, to combat a virus they are minimally affected by, then please contact the people cited in the article below as soon as possible:
Please see list of people below this graphic to contact.
Here are the 23 people we need to reach before Feb. 15. Please be respectful and courteous.
