Pfizer has already petitioned the FDA so I fully expect it happening sometime in the next 2-6 weeks.

How young will they go? Is the current work just to 12? *

Pfizer set low expectations for the trial, due to recruitment requirements for the age range and lower infection rates. They are starting with the oldest cohort (9-12) and work their way down.

I expect the 12-15 age group to be authorized under EUA by end of Q2 and the under 12 age group by late Q4.
