"I think by late fall, we will have, if everything goes well, hopefully, enough information and data to support us for that age group," Luzuriaga said.

Data for children 5 to 11 could come sometime in September, depending on the findings, Pfizer told CNN it could ask the FDA to authorize the vaccine that same month.
Data for 2-to-5-year-olds could arrive soon after. For the youngest children, Pfizer said it could potentially get data in October or November, and shortly thereafter ask the FDA to authorize emergency use.

Emergency use considerations by the FDA can take several weeks, meaning a vaccine for younger children likely won't be available until late fall or even next year.

Pediatricians never feel like things are moving fast enough, especially when they have a patient sitting in front of them that needs something, Luzuriaga said -- but research takes time.
