The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has changed their emergency use authorization (EUAs) for COVID vaccines to now include children from five years to six-months-old.

The agency’s top vaccine regulator Peter Marks announced the emergency use authorization of an updated bivalent COVID-19 vaccine early on Thursday.

This comes after Pfizer and BioNTech sought an authorization from the agency on Monday for the vaccine’s use in children under the age of five.

The FDA currently recommends children to receive three shots of the COVID-19 vaccine. They reportedly expects to receive the data needed to support a fourth dose in January.

CDC data shows only 6.4% percent of children under two have received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine.

Dina Boluarte was sworn in as the Peru’s 64th and first female President following the impeachment and arrest of Pedro Castillo.

On Wednesday, Boluarte took the Oath of Office in Parliament, becoming the South American nation’s sixth president in the last five years. This comes after Castillo was impeached by lawmakers during an emergency meeting earlier in the day.

Castillo had been detained after being accused of rebellion when he announced his plans to replace Congress with an “exceptional emergency government.”

Boluarte is now set to finish Castillo’s term which is slated to end in 2026.

The 60-year-old is tasked with restoring stability to Peru’s government after a chaotic saga in which Castillo tried to dissolve the Parliament.

“I request a truce to install a government of national unity,” Boluarte said. “This high responsibility must be assumed by all and by all; I will not ask that my governments. is not supervised and that the decisions that it will have to take are not scrutinized.”

The Biden administration has pledged to support the Peruvian’s efforts to form a unified government.
