Lupita Nyong’o For Saks Fifth Avenue’s Spring Campaign
Saks, the premier digital platform for luxury fashion, debuted its digital-first spring 2022 campaign featuring Academy Award-winning actress, Executive Producer of Africa’s first superhero series for children Super Sema, and star of the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Lupita Nyong’o. The seasonal campaign celebrates why fashion is fun again by showcasing the bright, bold styles of the season through an optimistic, fresh and timely storytelling lens.
“I love dressing up and I love a reason to dress up. It reminds me of being a kid and coming up with outfits from sheets and towels and things—but now you have designers making incredible gowns for you. It’s a chance to make believe and live at a higher level.”
“There are designers who’ve been supportive of me from the beginning of my career and whom I hold very close to my heart, like Prada, Miu Miu and Versace (which I’m wearing right now). They’ve really informed my evolution, I suppose, in the world of style. I [like to] play with my sense of style and create a conversation with both larger and smaller [fashion] houses that are out there doing cool things.”
“I approach dressing for the red carpet with curiosity and a sense of humor. With my stylist Micaela [Erlanger], we’ll think about what mood I’m in and what story I want to tell in that particular moment. If I’m promoting a film, oftentimes we’ll get inspiration from it, like what’s the attitude I want to exude. It helps me really wear the clothes if I know how I would like to come across.”
#RHOA: Porsha Williams Hopes Season 14 of RHOA Celebrates "Sisterhood" Rather Than Drama
While she might not be a part of the cast anymore, Porsha Williams is sharing what she'd like to see on the upcoming 14th season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The reality star, who announced her departure from the Bravo show last September, made her comments to E! News on Saturday, Feb. 12, at the Shaq's Fun House pre-Super Bowl LVI party in Los Angeles.
"The number one thing I love about Housewives is when we are celebrating the sisterhood of it all. So I really do hope that's what they're getting back to," she said. "I'm not really into the dark seasons where it just gets so deep into the drama. I want to see the sisterhood."
While attending the Wynn Nightlife-sponsored event, the Insecure actress shared that there will be lots to celebrate in the show's upcoming season, especially the return of Shereé Whitfield.
"We have ole school Shereé is back with her fabulous stuff. I know she's got so many things planned," Porsha said. "She's got her clothing line, so I just want to celebrate the women this season. I hope that's what it's about."
While Porsha hasn't been in touch with Shereé—or anyone outside of her immediate family—as of late, she was adamant that it didn't diminish any of the love she has for her former castmates.
"I'm that friend that I don't have to be around you, and I can still celebrate you and love you from afar," she remarked. "Honey, I am in my new house, busy with my whole little family, I don't have time to be with people. But I do celebrate those ladies and I hope they do well."
When asked if she'd ever potentially make a grand return to the show herself, Porsha was uncertain, saying, "I don't know." However, she did seem flattered by fans' support.
"You know, NeNe [Leakes] is our epic legendary star who started the franchise and I definitely appreciate being with her for 10 years and people even still speaking my name and looking for me, I love that," Porsha replied. "That means that I had an impact while I was on the show and I loved that. So I hope they have a good season."
Even without a filming schedule, Porsha is gearing up for a very busy year...right after embarking on a romantic getaway with her fiancé Simon Guobadia first. "I am sweeping my honey away to a secret location," she gushed. "I'm super excited, this is our first Valentine's Day together."
Then, it's back to work as she plans to go on the road to promote her new book, The Pursuit of Porsha: How I Grew Into My Power and Purpose. "So we toured at the end of 2020, which was amazing," she explained. "We were able to do it in-person, but with the spike we had to push back the second tour because it was just in high demand to go to other cities."
"I really feel like I'm walking in my purpose," she said, following the release of the book. "The whole purpose of the book is Porsha finding her power and her purpose and I am in that lane now being able to talk to people about so many deep subjects that I touch on in the book."
Tentatively setting a date for the book tour for "spring," the Bravolebrity continued, "I really do enjoy provoking these conversations, so I'm excited to go on tour again."
The Los Angeles Rams win Super Bowl 2022
The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday.
The suspenseful game ended with a fourth-down stop by the Rams to win it all. The big game took place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and it was the second time in Super Bowl history a team played on its home field. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the first team to do so, last year at Raymond James Stadium.
"I'm so proud of this team. There's so many guys on our team that deserve this," said Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
The Rams controlled much of the first half, with receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Cooper Kupp scoring the first two touchdowns of the day. The Bengals answered late in the second quarter with a trick play that led to a touchdown and an interception by safety Jessie Bates III.
A Bengals touchdown and interception within the first 22 seconds of the second half changed the tempo. Receiver Tee Higgins caught a 75-yard touchdown in the first 12 seconds of the half and 10 seconds later, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie picked off a pass from Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.

The fourth quarter began with uncertainty as to who would leave the game victorious, but it all came down to the last two minutes. After a long drive that included 15 plays -- four runs and 10 passes -- Kupp scored a crucial touchdown, giving the Rams a three-point lead. The Bengals had an opportunity to answer back, but were unable to convert on fourth down, ending the game.
The Rams came to the Super Bowl looking to redeem themselves after losing the big game in 2019 against the New England Patriots. That game saw head coach Sean McVay making his Super Bowl debut as the youngest ever to coach a team in the Super Bowl, according to the NFL.
The team's quarterback, Stafford, also had something to prove. This was his first season with the Rams after playing his first 12 seasons in the NFL with the Detroit Lions. McVay said a few weeks ago the team wouldn't be where it is today without Stafford's leadership.
The Rams solidified themselves as "Hollywood's Team" after returning to the City of Angels in 2016 from St. Louis. Between Los Angeles and St. Louis, the Rams have made five Super Bowl appearances, with their only championship win in 2000, in Super Bowl XXXIV.

Method Man Calls Out Twitter User Who Photoshopped His Beard Off
Method Man took to Twitter to call out a user who decided to Photoshop his beard off.
via People: The Wu-Tang Clan MC took to Twitter on Friday to call out a user who digitally shaved off the rapper’s facial hair, claimed that Method Man did it himself, and asked his followers if “y’all ladies still choosing.” Method Man caught wind of the post relatively quickly.
“This is suckashit,” he wrote. “u still hv time to delete it… Love and light my brother.”
Method Man didn’t leave his response at just that either. The rapper and actor also tracked down the original photo that the user Photoshopped, and posted it as a side-by-side comparison with a message to his fanbase.
“U know what’s funny,” he wrote. “A 50 yr old man got y’all in ur feelings so bad . U gotta resort to this.. all I send in return is love n light! #whoraisedthesenegroes.”
He then cosigned a take from another Twitter user, who wrote that “men are weird,” given that the user “saw women thirsting over method man and got in your feelings and started editing pics.”
Outside of making his still-thriving beard known on Twitter, Method Man has also been sharing some new material lately. In late January, he premiered the visual for “The Last Two Minutes” with Complex. The track is a follow-up to “2 Minutes of Your Time” and “Another 2 Minutes,” off his respective Meth Lab 1 and Meth Lab 2: The Lithium projects, as he uses his latest bars to promote the third installment of the Meth Lab series.
Rihanna On Her Unique Pregnancy Style: ‘When You Look Good, You Feel Good’
She’s still a Fashion Killa! Pregnant superstar Rihanna is embracing her ever changing body while remaining true to herself, opening up Friday night during her Fenty Beauty Universe Event in Los Angeles about styling her new physique.
She called it “fun,” yet, “a challenge” to showcase her eclectic style while with child in an interview with People, adding, “I like it. I’m enjoying it.”
“I’m enjoying not having to worry about covering up my tummy,” the “Work” singer continued. “If I feel a little chubby, it’s like, whatever! It’s a baby!”
“Right now, being pregnant, some days you just feel like, ‘Ugh, I just want to lay here on this couch all day.’ But when you put on a little face and a little lipstick, you transform,” she shared.
The songstress added that fashion has given her great confidence as she prepares to become a first-time mother.
“Right now, being pregnant, some days you just feel like, ‘Ugh, I just want to lay here on this couch all day.’ But when you put on a little face and a little lipstick, you transform,” she shared.
“You put some clothes on, and it’s like, when you look good, you feel good,” Rihanna continued. “I’ve heard that for a very long time, but it’s true. It really can get you up off that couch and make you feel like a bad bitch.”
The beauty is expecting her first kid with boyfriend, Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky, debuting her baby bump beneath a long pink jacket that was kept closed by just one button. She completed the look with a long embellished necklace, which adorned her bump with jewels.
She was later seen showcasing her tummy in a Jean Paul Gaultier lace-up cardigan ($480) and The Attico stirrup leggings ($630), which she layered beneath a Carhartt x Wardrobe.NYC reversible jacket ($750).
The boss babe also bared her baby bump in a fur-trimmed Fendi crop top and low-rise jeans layered beneath a vintage patchwork denim-and-leopard coat this week.
Harry Hamlin Says Playing A Gay Man In 1982 Feature Killed His Movie Career: ‘That Was The Last Studio Picture I Ever Did’
Harry Hamlin made a splash on television when he was cast in hit legal drama “L.A. Law” in 1986. However, in a new interview he reveals that a starring role in a controversial gay-themed film several years earlier effectively ended his movie career just as it was heating up.
Following his role in 1981’s “Clash of the Titans”, Hamlin co-starred with Michael Ontkean (who would later go on to “Twin Peaks”) and former “Charlie’s Angels” star Kate Jackson in “Making Love”.
A hugely controversial film for its time, the 1982 drama featured Hamlin as an openly gay man who has an affair with a married doctor (Ontkean).
Speaking with the “It Happened in Hollywood” podcast (as reported by People) Hamlin revealed that “everyone in town had turned” down the role because “the idea of a gay world was not accepted at the time.”
However, he thought the script was “exactly the kind of movie” he was looking for.
“I wanted to do something that’s relevant and edgy, cutting edge,” Hamlin said, but eventually came to realize it may have too edgy, and a bit too far ahead of time when it came to the mainstream.
“Overall, in terms of how the way that film was received, it was too early,” he admitted. “It was like 10 years too early and it completely ended my career. That was the last studio picture I ever did. The door shut with a resounding smash.”
Despite the hit his career took from “Making Love”, Hamlin said he still takes pride in his involvement. “I’m very proud of the movie and not a week goes by that people don’t come up to me and — I’m serious about this: in the supermarket, on the street — and they thank me for making that movie,” he said.
DaBaby Breaks Silence On Brandon Bills Brawl: ‘It Was Self-Defense, Shouldn’t Run Around Threatening People’
DaBaby has broken his silence since his viral bowling alley brawl with Brandon Bills — the brother of DaniLeigh and uncle to their 6-month-old daughter.
As we previously shared, DaBaby and Brandon have been beefing since last year’s incident where Baby allegedly kicked Dani and their daughter of his Charlotte home after an alleged physical altercation. Stemming from the fight, Brandon jumped on social media, claiming “it’s on site.” So, when the two finally ended up at the same place, things quickly escalated.
In the viral video, DaBaby is allegedly seen throwing the first punch. From there, Brandon is seen being attacked by the rapper and his entourage. Besides a few caption-less IG posts, DaBaby is speaking out publicly for the first time since the beatdown. He tells TMZ, “[It was] self-defense. You shouldn’t run around threatening people.” Since the incident, DaBaby has been banned from the California bowling alley and an investigation was launched.

Kanye West Explains Why Kid Cudi Isn't on 'Donda 2,' Kid Cudi Calls Out His 'Lie'
Kanye West and Kid Cudi are trading jabs on social media.It all started on Saturday afternoon (February 12) when Kanye took to Instagram to share a handwritten note in which he explained why rapper Kid Cudi will not be featured on his upcoming album Donda 2.
“Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who,” Ye wrote. “We all speak in Billie language now.”
It seems Kanye is referencing Cudi‘s friendship with Pete Davidson, who is now dating Kanye‘s ex Kim Kardashian.
Kanye is also calling out Billie Eilish yet again for the comments she made while pausing her show to help a distressed fan. At the time, the rapper thought that Billie was throwing shade at Travis Scott, whose Astroworld show was not stopped to help fans who were killed in a crowd crush. She then replied to say she wasn’t even referencing him.
After Kanye put up this new post, Kid Cudi spoke out to clear up the “lie” he told.
Kid Cudi left a comment on Kanye‘s Instagram post and said, “Too bad I dont wanna be on ur album u f–kin dinosaur hahaha. Everyone knows I’ve been the best thing about ur albums since I met u. Ima pray for u brother.”
Kid Cudi then went on Twitter and spoke more about the situation.
“We talked weeks ago about this. You’re whack for flipping the script and posting this lie just for a look on the internet. You ain’t no friend. BYE,” he tweeted.
India.Arie in battle with label to pull music off Spotify
India.Arie has accepted Joe Rogan’s apology for his repeated use of the N-word on his Spotify podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
Earlier this week, the “Video” singer told Don Lemon that she thought Rogan “did a fine job with his apology” and that what stuck out to her the most was when the comedian said “it’s not my word to use.”
Arie initially took to Instagram to announce that she was removing her music from Spotify, following their support of Rogan.
The process, however, has not been simple for the neo-soul songstress. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Arie called the music industry “abusive” and said since her masters are involved with two different labels — Universal Motown and BMG — it’s been difficult.
“My first five projects were with Universal, and predictably, [when I asked to take down my music], they told me no,” Arie revealed. “So now we’re in a legal conversation. Basically what they’re saying is, ‘we don’t care if this guy is doing this, we don’t care about your dignity, the answer’s no.’”
“My other label has been a godsend after 17 years on that type of major label. BMG sent an email right back saying, ‘we always support the artist, let’s get it done,’” Arie continued. “So I’ve seen both sides. But I fully expected Universal Motown to do what they’re doing. So I’m still in this conversation about how to get music off.”
The Grammy award-winning artist also mentioned that she has spoken with Spotify’s Artist Relations team. “We had a little talk. But it felt like there’s no more talking that needed to be done,” Arie explained. “They said I can call back whenever I want. But I don’t need warm fuzzy talk. I want to see what I can do, and if there’s any systemic change that can happen. If they can make changes for me, they can make changes for other artists like me.”
As reported, the website JRE Missing noticed Spotify has deleted a total of 113 “The Joe Rogan Experience” episodes out of more than 1,700.
Snoop Dogg Responds To Sexual Assault Lawsuit
Snoop Dogg is responding after being accused of sexual assault.
Just days before his performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, a woman has accused the rapper and his associate of sexually assaulting her over eight years ago.
A woman who allegedly used to work as a dancer for Snoop claims she was assaulted by the hip-hop superstar and Bishop Don “Magic” Juan. In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, the accuser says the alleged assaults occurred after she accepted a ride home from Juan, whose real name is Donald Campbell, following a Snoop concert in Anaheim, Calif. in May 2013.
According to Rolling Stone, the Jane Doe says she fell asleep in the car and woke up at Campbell’s home where he “removed his penis from his pants” and “repeatedly shoved his penis into [her] mouth.”
She claims Campbell demanded she accompany him to a recording studio where Snoop was filming his TV series, “Snoop Dogg’s Double G News Network.” Campbell allegedly told the woman that Snoop wanted her to be “his weather girl,” so she agreed “in hopes of advancing her career.”
In her complaint, the Jane Doe says she didn’t feel well and went to the bathroom at the studio when Snoop walked in unexpectedly, shut the door, and forced her to perform oral sex on him.
But Snoop insists that he never had any sexual encounter with the woman, who is seeking $10 million. In a statement to Page Six on Friday, a spokesperson for the new Death Row Records owner called the allegations “manufactured” and part of a “shakedown.”
“The allegations … of sexual assault by Calvin Broadus [known as Snoop Dogg], are simply meritless,” said the spokesperson. “They appear to be part of a self-enrichment shakedown scheme by [Jane Doe] to extort Snoop Dogg right before he performs during this Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show.
“[Her] scheme involves concocting a legal complaint as an anonymous ‘Jane Doe’ plaintiff, and, knowing full well it can be a public document, filing this complaint late Wednesday, only three days before the Super Bowl.
The rep continued, “To be clear, Mr. Broadus has never has had any sexual encounter whatsoever with [the plaintiff]. [Her] shakedown scheme is disgraceful. Her attempt to use the courts to advance this scheme is shameful too, and does a disservice to real victims who deserve to be believed.”
Snoop, who released his new album B.O.D.R. (Bacc On Death Row) on Friday, also addressed the allegations in an Instagram post where he appeared to call the woman a “gold digger.”
In 2005, Snoop was sued for sexual assault by makeup artist Kylie Bell. He countersued her for extortion and the lawsuit was eventually dropped.
Cardi B and Offset get matching tattoos of wedding date
Cardi B has tried her hand at ballet, stunt car racing, gymnastics and other new things via her “Cardi Tries” series. In the forthcoming episode of the Facebook Messenger show, she will attempt to take on the role of a tattoo artist.
Taking to Instagram, the “Up” emcee shared a teaser of Valentine’s Day special, which sees her preparing to tattoo her husband Offset. With some guidance from celebrity tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado, the Bronx star successfully tatted their wedding date, Sept. 7, 2017, on his hand. Shortly after, the “Big on Big” rapper convinced Cardi to let him give her the same design.
The couple’s new art is placed above their thumbs to ensure that the matching numbers touch everyone time they hold hands.
As indicated by Cardi and Offset‘s tattoos, the couple secretly tied the knot in 2017, nearly eight months before the world discovered they were married. Their bond was briefly riddled with cheating allegations and thoughts of divorce, but the two came out strong and are now in a good place. Back in November, when discussing her marriage with hosts of E!‘s “Daily Pop,” she said she was “happy” that she and Offset overcame some tough obstacles.
“We went through some challenges. You have to learn [about] each other better,” Cardi said. “I feel like I’ve never been happier.”
“I feel like, not even with just with marriage, but our family and unity, the friendship that we have,” she continued. “The ‘I have your back, you have my back.’ It’s never been stronger.”
Cardi and Offset are parents to their three-year-old daughter and Kulture Kiari and their newborn son, whose name she once considered tattooing. “Random but ….I’m 1% close too tatting my sons name on my face….I really really wanna do it!” the Bronx native said last month. Though she’s since changed her mind, she thought about getting it on her jaw, similar to the location where Offset tatted Kulture‘s name.
Offset is also a father to daughter Kalea and sons Kody and Jordan from previous relationships.
Tina Knowles Remembers White Woman Questioning Why She Would Let Beyoncé Marry ‘Gangster Rapper’ Jay-Z
In her appearance on the Discovery+ docuseries Profiled: The Black Man, Tina Knowles-Lawson recalls a conversation where she had to defend her son-in-law, Jay-Z after the woman asked her why she would allow her daughter, Beyoncé, to marry someone she believed to be a “gangster rapper.”
“I can remember getting on a plane and an older white woman saying, ‘Oh, your son is a gangster rapper, right? How did you let him marry your daughter?,’” Knowles-Lawson remembered. “And it was just shocking to me, and I said, ‘No, actually, my son is a CEO.’” Jay-Z became president and CEO of Def Jam Recordings in 2004, before stepping down three years later.
“She didn’t think of him as a CEO or even a talented celebrity that was a great businessman,” she continued. “At that time, I remember thinking, I can’t be mad at her because that is what the media portrays.” According to People, the first episode of Profiled, in which Ms. Tina serves as an executive producer, explores the narrative that Black men are seen as “dangerous.”
“I was very happy to educate her,” Knowles-Lawson told People. “She apologized at the end, and she said, ‘I’m sorry. I just hear that.’ And I said, ‘Yes, you assume, but you really should go and do some research on it because, no, he’s a CEO of a record label.’ And I was like, ‘He’s a very good person. He gives, he helps people.”
Nowadays, Jay-Z’s resume extends well beyond being a CEO. Last month, hip-hop’s first billionaire voiced his support for the proposed “Rap Music on Trial” bill in a letter by his lawyer Alex Spiro, which would prevent prosecutors from trying to prove that an artist is guilty by using their lyrics against them in a criminal trial.
CNN's Van Jones Welcomes Baby With a Friend
Van Jones is a dad once again. The CNN political commentator announced he has welcomed a baby girl, his first daughter, this month with a friend.
"After the COVID lockdown, I got clear that I wanted another kid," he shared in a statement to E! News on Feb. 12. " I discovered that my friend Noemi also wanted a baby. So we decided to join forces and become conscious coparents. It's a concept that I hope more people will explore and consider."
Van, 53, says he and Noemi plan to raise their child as "coparenting partners."
He continued. "This is a special time for our families. I feel grateful, joyful and blessed. As we create a safe and loving environment for this blessed young soul, I respectfully ask for privacy. Thank you for all the love and support."
The Beyond the Messy Truth author also shares sons Mattai and Cabral, with ex-wife Jana Carter, whom he wed in 2005. They announced their split after 15-years of marriage in 2018.
Last year, Van sparked romance rumors with Kim Kardashian. The reality star and aspiring lawyer set the record straight during part one of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion, which aired last June
"Van texted me and was like, 'This rumor has gotten me so many dates and I'm so grateful, so I owe you,'" Kim, 41, said in June with a laugh.
Van previously gushed to Ellen DeGeneres that Kim is "going to be an unbelievable attorney" and is "already one of the best advocates that we have in criminal justice."
Van is not the only CNN personality to recently expand his family. Earlier this week, anchor Anderson Cooper announced on his show that he has welcomed his second child and son, Sebastian.
Buckhead Cityhood Will Not Move Forward In Georgia Senate This Year
Buckhead will remain within the city of Atlanta, at least for another year.
On Friday, Georgia’s Speaker of the House, David Ralston, shot down hopes of Buckhead separating from Atlanta. One day prior, Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan said that questions surrounding schools, crime, and finances caused him to pump the breaks on legislation that would make Buckhead a city. What makes Duncan’s opposition so influential is that he has the power to create a legislature that can further stall cityhood measures.
Duncan wants Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens to implement a $100 million annual state tax credit that will direct taxes to local law enforcement. This measure will help curb the violence and better chances of Buckhead achieving cityhood.
Ralston has also expressed concern about the violent crime in Atlanta.
“So, I’m looking for some forceful, vigorous action on the part of the city to tackle that problem,” Ralston stated.
The city of Atlanta has addressed the violence by establishing the new Buckhead Public Safety Task Force.
Mayor Andre Dickens released a statement Friday, reiterating that he wants Atlanta to “remain one city.” He also thanked Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan and Speaker David Ralston for their continued support
Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel Sells $400M Shares And Deletes Twitter Account
Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel has reportedly deleted his official Twitter account after selling his shares in the company.
Bancel reportedly sold 10,000 of his own shares of MRNA stock earlier today after the average price of $178.29 went up by 3.06 percent as reported by Yahoo! Finance. In addition to selling his shares, several Twitter users noticed that Bancel deleted his Twitter account without any explanation.
“Moderna CEO deletes Twitter account and sells $400m worth of MRNA shares. As does Noubar Afeyan, another Moderna cofounder who has dumped shares for $1.5B.” wrote Guru Seed editor Ryan Allen.
Although a reason is currently unclear, several Twitter users alleged that Bancel deleted his account and sold some shares after a report about the coronavirus vaccines was published
Pfizer Halts Its Request For FDA Authorization of COVID Vaccines for Kids Under 5
Pfizer has decided to suspend its request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to get authorization for a two-dose COVID-19 for vaccines for children under five and will also hold off until the 3-dose data becomes available, which will likely be in early April.
“Given that the study is advancing at a rapid pace, the companies will wait for the three-dose data as Pfizer and BioNTech continue to believe it may provide a higher level of protection in this age group,” Pfizer said.
“This is also supported by recent observations of three-dose booster data in several other age groups that seem to meaningfully augment neutralizing antibody levels and real-world vaccine protection for omicron compared to the two-dose regimen,” the company continued.
The U.S. government had been preparing to distribute the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines for children, six months through 4 years old, for the 2-dose regimen upon receiving FDA approval.
While earlier data from the company showed the vaccine was considered safe and produced an immune response, the company announced last year that the two-dose shot proves to be less effective at preventing COVID-19 in kids ages 2-5.
Late last year, the FDA and CDC authorized the vaccine for children ages 5-11 years old. The Pfizer-BioNTech two-dose series still remains the only vaccine that is recommended for children between the ages of 5-11 years old.
The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) was scheduled to discuss the authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for the age group Tuesday, but the meeting has been postponed.
