  • Description:
    Multiple vaccine manufacturers are currently developing COVID-19 vaccines for children younger than 12 years old. This Operational Planning Guide outlines key aspects of a COVID-19 vaccination program for children younger than 12 years old and was designed to inform jurisdictional planning under the assumption of FDA authorization and CDC recommendations of at least one COVID-19 vaccine product for children of this age. An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) application for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children 5-11 years old has been submitted to the FDA and may receive authorization before other vaccines. Therefore, this guidance will include details about the anticipated Pfizer-BioNTech product and may be updated as other manufacturers submit applications for FDA review. While some details about the pediatric COVID-19 vaccination program are still pending, this guide aims to inform planning based on current facts and planning assumptions and introduces strategies for consideration. Given jurisdictions’ extensive experience implementing a COVID-19 vaccination program for adults and adolescents, this guide will mainly focus on key differences between that program and one designed to vaccinate children younger than 12 years old. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.
