(KMIZ)The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for use on children starting at 6 months old.
The FDA already approved the Pfizer vaccine in children starting at the age of 4, but has now lowered the age range to 6 months old.
Morris also said that the Omicron variant, BA.5 is in Missouri, and is spreading quickly.
The Missouri Sewershed Surveillance Project reported that it has found every Omicron Variant, including BA.4 and BA.5 in most of Missouri.
"It seems to be changed enough, different enough from the previous Omicron variants that people may not be protected with immunity from the vaccine."
