☆ Progress in Childhood Cancer Has Stalled for Blacks and Hispanics, Report Says
  + stars: | 2023-11-16 | by ( Associated Press | Nov. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +3 min
Advances in childhood cancer are a success story in modern medicine. But in the past decade, those strides have stalled for Black and Hispanic youth, opening a gap in death rates, according to a new report published Thursday. Death rates were about the same for Black, Hispanic and white children in 2001, and all went lower during the next decade. Nearly incurable 50 years ago, childhood cancer now is survivable for most patients, especially those with leukemia. The National Cancer Institute is working to gather data from every childhood cancer patient with the goal of linking each child to state-of-the-art care.

☆ Moderna asks FDA to authorize omicron Covid boosters for children as young as 6 years old
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Moderna has asked the Food and Drug Administration to authorize its omicron booster shots for children, the company announced on Friday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a document published Tuesday, said it expects children to become eligible for the omicron boosters by mid-October pending authorization by the FDA. Pfizer told the CDC advisory committee earlier this month that it expects to ask the FDA to authorize omicron boosters for children ages 5 to 11 in early October. U.S. health regulators cleared Moderna's omicron boosters for adults earlier this month. There is also concern that the original shots' effectiveness at preventing hospitalization and severe illness is starting to decline.
