Add a little history to that. When Pfizer did their 2-shot clinical trial, the data didn’t show enough result with just 2-shot. So they extended the clinical trial, did 3-shot, and that was what was approved.Yes, the Pfizer vaccine for the little ones is considered a 3-dose series with all 3 shots necessary to complete the series. The 3rd shot for ages 12+ is a booster, maybe 5-11 as well? But the little ones need 3 shots of Pfizer. And “fully vaccinated” is 2 weeks (14 days) after the last shot.
The Moderna vaccine for that age group is only a 2-dose series.
Moderna vaccine was highly sought after, harder to book in the first week that was available, due to that difference. Now it’s available in most places.
