President Joe Biden hailed US health authorities' approval for giving children aged 5-11 the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine as a “turning point” in the fight against the pandemic, according to AFP.
Vaccinating younger children will “allow parents to end months of anxious worrying about their kids, and reduce the extent to which children spread the virus to others. It is a major step forward for our nation in our fight to defeat the virus,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House.
