Dr. Anthony Fauci said once the COVID-19 vaccine is authorized, children under four will probably accept three doses, referring to the proposal as a “three-dose regimen.”
3 shots for kids under 4!!! This maniac needs stopped!
"Two clinical trials of the ages 6 months to 2 years old, and ages 2 to 4 are underway, but the older group hasn’t yet met standards, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said.."https://t.co/Qb3Z5b14su

The info was presented at a White House press conference on Wednesday regarding the COVID-19 response.
Fauci’s Report
“The dosage and protocol for kids six months to 24 months performed well. Yet, the other group of kids two to four years old did not yet achieve success; therefore the trials will continue,” Fauci stated to ABC News.
“It appears this will be a three-dose schedule. I don’t believe we can forecast when we will get an EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] for that,” he continued, referring to FDA clearance.
Fauci resisted providing a timeline in response to inquiries about immunizations for young children.
Additionally, the COVID-19 news conference updated the press on additional Pfizer antiviral tablets due in June.
“We ordered 20 million Pfizer tablet treatment courses and expedited delivery of the first ten million from September to June,” White House coronavirus emergency administrator Jeff Zients stated during the briefing.
“We have hundreds of thousands of tablets every month in the first quarter of 2022, and that will increase to millions by the end of June,” he continued.
The CDC’s Recommendation
Presently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises “everyone aged five years and older receive a COVID-19 vaccination to help protect against COVID-19.”
Additionally, the CDC recommends “everyone 12 years of age and older receive a COVID-19 booster dose.” Vaccinations are not currently advised for children under the age of five.
Several American parents, on the other hand, have reservations about kid vaccines. According to a December Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) study, the majority of parents continue to have reservations about the safety of COVID-19 vaccinations for children.
Around three in ten say they will “absolutely not” vaccinate their kids against COVID-19.
Almost half of parents of kids ages 12-17 say their child has receive at least one #COVID19 vaccine dose, our new report finds. About one-fifth say their child will “definitely not” get a vaccine. https://t.co/fttnHHWBrj pic.twitter.com/tIgCGsPsHu

Vaccine uptake has dropped in recent times among adolescents aged 12 to 17.
According to KFF, only around half of the parents report their kids in this age group have gotten at least one vaccination shot, a percentage that has been relatively stable since the autumn.
The debate on COVID-19 vaccines for young children comes as a result of recent developments in California, which suggest requiring all pupils to be completely vaccinated beginning in 2023.
As initially disclosed by The Daily Wire, a California state senator introduced a measure on Monday that would add COVID-19 immunizations to the state’s list of required vaccinations for kids in grades K-12.
This would require all pupils to be completely vaccinated by 2023.
Sen. Richard Pan, a Democrat, announced the measure during a Monday news conference. The Los Angeles Times first reported on the proposed law on Monday.
“We need to ensure school safety so that all parents feel secure bringing their children to school,” Pan, who is also a physician, told the paper.
