The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted full approval for Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax, in children aged 6 months through 11 years who are at an increased risk of the disease, the company said on Thursday.

Moderna’s Covid vaccine for children has been given full FDA approval, making it the first such shot for kids in the U.S. that will no longer be administered under an emergency use authorization.

Fresh off of the heels of a shakeup at the CDC over vaccine recommendations, many Americans still question the necessity and safety of COVID-19 vaccines for young children.
