A review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated on Friday that the Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine provided more benefits to children in most scenarios than possible risk, the latest sign that health agencies could give the green light on a vaccine for children as young as 5 years old in the coming weeks, The Washington Post reported.

An FDA review found that a two-dose regimen of the Pfizer vaccine for children provided more benefits to children than risks in three of four scenarios that the agency considered. .

The FDA noted that there could be the risk of more pediatric hospitalizations due to myocarditis stemming from the vaccine than COVID-19 in the scenarios of lower levels of COVID-19 transmission, but noted “the overall benefits of the vaccine may still outweigh the risks under this lowest incidence scenario,” according to the newspaper.
