  • Pfizer seeking approval to jab kids aged six months to five years by this winter
  • Timeline will depend on findings of in-house trials of vaccines on young children
  • Pfizer’s jab already being used for over-12s in majority of countries in the West

Pfizer’s Covid vaccine could be rolled out to babies as young as six months in the US this winter, under plans being drawn up by the pharmaceutical giant.

The timeline will depend on the findings of in-house trials looking into whether the vaccines are safe and effective in youngsters aged six months to five years.
