Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE Coronavirus vaccine has become the first-ever vaccine to get approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for use in children aged 5 to 11 years. However, there's still time before US can start vaccinating kids. It will only be possible after a group of outside advisers chart out a plan on how to administer the doses to kids. The decision will cover some 28 million American children.
