Vaccine efficacy against Omicron wanes in kids, shows study
Between December and January, protection with two doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vax fell from 68% to 12% in the 5-11 age group: US research
A double dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is protective against disease in children, but quickly loses most of its ability to prevent illness in 5-11 year olds, according to a US study.
The vaccine’s efficacy against infection during the Omicron surge among the 5-11 age group declined to 12% at the end of January.
