The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week approved a low-dose formula of the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5-11. 

The injection carries one-third of the dose made available to Americans ages 12 and older. The pediatric version is also a two-dose series.

UW Med did a photo op and vaccinated 10 children on camera. Most places are not quite ready to make appointments but should be very soon.
