The timeline is going to be based on the expectations that, the company Pfizer, which has developed the corona virus vaccine shot with BioNTech of Germany, will be having enough data from the clinical trials for the purpose of seeking the emergency use authorization (EUA) for that age group from the US FDA by the end of September 2021.

The decision for authorizing a novel corona virus vaccine for the younger children has been eagerly anticipated by millions of people of the United States, and particularly the parents, whose children have started going back to school in the recent weeks amid a new wave of the covid-19 infections by the Delta variant of the novel corona virus.
