Dr. Ashton here, as always, helping us through tracking
all the day's developments.
And our big number today--
50.
Hmm, what are we talking about here, Dr. Ashton?
This is a good thing.
50 states now reporting declining
COVID-19 daily case averages.
I don't know when was the last time we could say that all 50
states were going down-- - I know.
--but that's great to see. - That's a great headline.
Great to see, good to hear, Dr. Jen.
The FDA, though, is set to release data on Pfizer's trial
on children under five.
It could come as early as today?
Yes, so this is really where all the eyes are,
on this vulnerable population.
So we're talking about for babies six months of age
and up to children of five years of age.
And Pfizer will be submitting that data.
They are looking at safety and efficacy
from their clinical trials.
They will be submitting it to the FDA on two doses.
However, and we've talked about this before,
it is expected that if authorized,
it will be a three-dose series.
The FDA Independent Advisory Panel
will be meeting on Tuesday, and if they authorize this vaccine
for this age group, there are 10 million doses ready to go out,
pending that authorization.
All right, Dr. Ashton, something a lot of folks
are keeping an eye on across the pond--
Queen Elizabeth-- JEN ASHTON: Yeah.
--her health.
Her son has tested positive.
So the concerns here?
So Prince Charles, 73.
The queen is 95.
We know that, obviously, age is the single greatest
risk factor for people if they become infected with COVID-19.
She was exposed to Prince Charles
two days before he tested positive.
So she is at risk.
And we are watching that very closely for any news
from Buckingham Palace.
All right, Dr. Jen, we appreciate that.
You bet.
