Is pfizer covid-19 vaccine as effective in kids under 10 as it is for older kids and adults? is it worth taking for kids that age?

Yes! COVID-19 vaccine is available, safe, and found to be effective for children 6 months and older and adults. In the US it is emergency use authorized for 6 months and up and fully authorized for 16 years of age and up. I encourage everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated and boosted!
