He added Pfizer plans to ship the vaccine in smaller vials and smaller trays that could make it more accessible to a greater number of pediatric practices.<\/p>\n<p>However, Gottlieb said the CDC is taking precautions when it comes to administering vaccines to children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the CDC\u2019s likely to take a very cautious approach in children ages 5-to-11, in part because they\u2019re at less risk from COVID, in part because this is a new vaccine and we\u2019re still collecting data about it, and it\u2019s a novel virus. So, there\u2019s still some things we don\u2019t know,\u201d said Gottlieb.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">INFANTS AND COVID: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ScottGottliebMD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ScottGottliebMD<\/a> tells <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/margbrennan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@margbrennan<\/a> the FDA has been moving &#8220;cautiously but with speed&#8221; on a potential vaccine for the youngest of kids.<\/p>\n<p>He believes the current pace of clinical trials for kids six months to two years old could push a vaccine \u201cinto 2022.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t80PWL0b8Q\">pic.twitter.com\/t80PWL0b8Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FaceTheNation\/status\/1447225237553172484?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the push for the jab has continued to create controversy as some parents have been vocal about their hesitancy to vaccinate children.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/u-k-prime-minister-johnson-pays-tribute-to-murdered-lawmaker-david-amess\/\">U.K. Authorities Identify Suspect In Murder Of Parliament Member<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 APRIL 05: FDA Commissioner-designate Scott Gottlieb testifies during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing on April 5, 2017 at on Capitol Hill in Washington, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-890999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=890999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=890999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=890999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=890999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
