The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine may become unavailable for some children, according to an email sent to state health officials.

The Food and Drug Administration, which has granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the vaccine for some children, “recently notified Pfizer of its intent to potentially NOT renew the EUA,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an Aug. 8 memo, a copy of which was reviewed by The Epoch Times.
