KEY POINTS

    * The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer's omicron booster shot for kids younger than five who were previously vaccinated with three doses of the company's original vaccine. 
    * Children six months through four years old who completed their three-dose primary series with Pfizer and BioNTech's monovalent shots more than two months ago are now eligible to receive a single booster dose of the updated shot.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday authorized Pfizer's omicron booster shot for kids under five years old who were previously vaccinated with three doses of the company's original vaccine. 

Children six months through four years old who completed their three-dose primary series with Pfizer and BioNTech's original monovalent shots more than two months ago are now eligible to receive a single booster dose of the updated shot. The new shot is bivalent, meaning it targets the original Covid strain as well as omicron BA.4 and BA.5.   ... CNBC
