The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommends COVID-19 vaccines for children aged 6 months through 5 years.

Pfizer BioNTech vaccine is now authorized for children aged 6 months through 4 years at a dose of 3 mcg. For children in this age group, Pfizer is a three-dose series with 3-8 weeks between dose 1 and dose 2 (minimum 3 weeks) and at least 8 weeks between dose 2 and dose 3. Children in this age group who are moderately to severely immunocompromised should receive dose 2 at 3 weeks after dose 1. Pfizer vaccine for children aged 6 month to 4 years is packaged and labeled separately from vaccine for older age groups (maroon vial cap and label border); while the vaccine label may state age 2 years to <5 years, it is authorized for children 6 months through 4 years.

Moderna is now authorized for children aged 6 months through 5 years at a dose of 25 mcg. For children in this age group who are not moderately to severely immunocompromised, Moderna is a two-dose series with 4-8 weeks between dose 1 and dose 2 (minimum 4 weeks). Children in this age group who are moderately to severely immunocompromised should receive three doses, with 4 weeks between dose 1 and dose 2 and at least 4 weeks between dose 2 and dose 3.

Wyoming Medical

Political Action Committee (WYOPAC)

WYOPAC, the Wyoming Medical Society's Political Action Committee, fights for Wyoming physicians by helping to elect leaders who will to protect patients and promote high standards of care.

By electing thoughtful legislators who value education, training and expertise, WMS staff and physicians can foster relationships and create partnerships to hold the line on important policies and advance efforts to protect and build a strong healthcare delivery system in Wyoming.

By contributing to WYOPAC, you will substantially enhance WMS' advocacy efforts. WYOPAC promotes and strives for the improvement of government by encouraging and stimulating physicians to take a more active part in government affairs.

The 2022 election will be one of our most important elections. Wyoming is witnessing unprecedented turnover and there's never been a more critical time to elect the right leaders to take Wyoming into the future.

Members of WYOPAC are invited to all meetings of the PAC where decisions about candidate contributions and endorsements are made. WMS will again create an election guide similar to what we published in 2020 (WMS 2020 Election Guide) identifying candidates whom WMS believes will do right by Wyoming patients and their doctors.
