Dr. Fauci says he expects babies and toddlers will have a COVID-19 vaccine by spring 2022
Kids younger than 5 years old are the only people in the US who still can't get any COVID-19 vaccines.
But Dr. Anthony Fauci says they (and their parents) shouldn't have to wait too much longer.
"Hopefully within a reasonably short period of time, likely the beginning of next year in 2022, in the first quarter of 2022, it will be available to them," Fauci told Insider, though he quickly acknowledged there's really no way to know that for sure.
Pfizer seems to be the likely frontrunner in the race to vaccinate babies and toddlers, because its pediatric vaccine trials are already underway. (Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are also planning to trial their COVID-19 vaccines in young kids, but Moderna is still in the recruitment phase for children in the 6 month to 6 year cohort, while J&J has had some regulatory delays, and is still testing its vaccine in 12-17 year olds.)
