Top U.S. health agencies should not have authorized and recommended COVID-19 vaccines for children under 5, a complaint lodged on Aug. 9 says.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) appeared to violate their own standards when the agencies granted emergency authorization for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and then recommended virtually all children aged six months to four years get a jab, a watchdog said in the complaint.
