use of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for young people aged 12 to 15 by next week.</span> <span data-start-time='14292' data-end-time='31708'>A federal official told The Associated Press that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to expand its emergency use authorization for Pfizer’s vaccine to the new age group.</span> <span data-start-time='31708' data-end-time='42583'>The official did not want to be identified because there has been no public announcement about Pfizer’s vaccine plans. </span> <span data-start-time='42583' data-end-time='49646'>The New York Times first reported on the expected timing of the plan.</span> <span data-start-time='49646' data-end-time='56771'>The official said the approval is expected to come by early next week. </span> <span data-start-time='56771' data-end-time='69188'>The person added that the FDA also plans to approve Pfizer’s two-shot vaccine for even younger children later this year.</span> <span data-start-time='69188' data-end-time='79708'>The FDA’s expansion of its emergency use authorization is the first step in the approval process.</span> <span data-start-time='79708' data-end-time='94229'>That action would be followed by a meeting of a federal vaccine advisory committee to discuss whether to recommend the injection for 12- to 15-year-olds.</span> <span data-start-time='94229' data-end-time='104292'>If the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approves the committee’s recommendation, the shots could begin. </span> <span data-start-time='104292' data-end-time='109875'>Those steps could be completed in a matter of days.</span> <span data-start-time='109875' data-end-time='125479'>In March, Pfizer released the first results from a vaccine study involving 2,260 U.S. volunteers aged 12 to 15. </span> <span data-start-time='125479' data-end-time='143521'>The study showed there were no cases of COVID-19 among fully vaccinated individuals compared with 18 in the group who were given a placebo, a shot of inactive substance.</span> <span data-start-time='143521' data-end-time='151875'>The 12- to 15-year-olds had side effects similar to young adults, Pfizer said. </span> <span data-start-time='151875' data-end-time='163229'>The main side effects are pain, increased temperature, tiredness and chills, especially after the second shot. </span> <span data-start-time='163229' data-end-time='175958'>The study will continue to follow test subjects for two years to gain more information about long-term protection and safety.</span> <span data-start-time='175958' data-end-time='183250'>Pfizer is not the only company seeking to lower the age limit for its vaccine. </span> <span data-start-time='183250' data-end-time='195458'>Results are also expected by the middle of this year from a U.S. study of Moderna’s vaccine in 12- to 17-year-olds.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button
