Vaccines for young children could be right around the corner.

Today's Top Story Vaccines for young children could be right around the corner.

An independent panel is set to debate the evidence on Oct. 26. Children in this age group would get a third of the dose currently given to people 12 and older. The rollout could begin before Thanksgiving, a White House official said today.
