The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an alert to health care providers to administer the right dosage of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine to children amid reports that double doses were given to children.

“We are advising healthcare providers who administer the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to individuals six months through 11 years of age to ensure that the correct volume of the vaccine is withdrawn from the vial so that the correct dose is administered to the vaccine recipient,” the FDA alert said.
