The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) anticipates COVID-19 vaccine booster shots that are said to target Omicron subvariants of the virus will be available for children aged 5 to 11 years within a month.
The CDC said in a vaccination planning guide released Sept. 20 that the shots, if they are authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), may be available by the middle of October (pdf).
