You'd have to look up the schedule, but I believe it starts at six months and they get three of them kind of boom, boom, boom.
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
The starting age is correct: in June 2022 the FDA authorized both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines down to 6 months of age. The three-dose figure is correct only for the Pfizer product, which for children 6 months through 4 years was authorized as a three-dose primary series, whereas Moderna in that age group used a two-dose series. The phrasing boom, boom, boom is misleading, because the three Pfizer doses were not given in rapid succession: the pivotal trial and authorization spaced doses 1 and 2 about three weeks apart, then dose 3 at least eight weeks after dose 2, so the series spanned roughly three months. Status note: this schedule has since changed. For the 2025-2026 season the Pfizer product is no longer authorized for children under 5, and Moderna is used in that age group, so the current infant COVID vaccination schedule differs from the three-dose framework Humphries describes.
