Abstract
As children are experiencing the highest rates of COVID-19 in many states, can efforts to universally preclude vaccination of those under 12 until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically authorizes use in that age group be justified?
In a case commentary published today in Pediatrics, we argue that the answer is no.
