By: News 12 Staff
Rockland-based Pfizer's COVID-19 shots could soon be approved for kids under the age of 5.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says he hopes that authorization comes within a month, but adds it may take a bit longer.
He says the timeframe is up to the Food and Drug Administration.
Right now, kids under 5 are the only group the FDA hasn't approved a COVID-19 vaccine for.
