- The FDA has issuedthis warning to parents.

Do not seek a COVID vaccine for your child

until the agency has approved one

and a vaccine for children could be coming

as soon as the end of October.

- Meanwhile, governors across the country

continue to push back on thePresident's vaccine mandate.

Dale Hurd has the story.

- The CDC says the percentage of children

with cases of COVID-19that are serious enough

to need hospitalization is 0.008%.

And with cases reportedlyrising among kids,

the FDA is warning parentsnot to have children under 12

vaccinated until theagency gives approval,

saying children are not small adults.

CDC data show COVID symptomsamong children under 12

usually range from asymptomatic to mild.

And yet, the former head of the FDA

indicated a vaccine forchildren could be coming.

- You could potentially have avaccine available to children

age five to 11 by Halloweenif everything goes well.

- [Dale] This, as opposition grows

against Joe Biden'svaccine mandate last week,

that orders businesses withmore than 100 employees

to either require vaccinationsor offer weekly testing.

A spokesperson for the conservative

Heritage Action for America told CBN News

it's unconstitutional.

- We really have got to callthis out for what it is.

It's a fundamental attack on our rights.

- [Dale] The rule, to be crafted

by the Occupational Safetyand Health Administration,

carries penalties up to$14,000 per violation.

At least seven Republicangovernors say they'll fight it,

with some already announcing legal action.

- This is egregious overreachof federal authority.

And as we see what these rules are,

we will be able to know

exactly how we will be ableto challenge them in court.

- And I'm trying to overcome resistance,

but the President's actions in a mandate

hardens the resistance.

- It's also fundamentally unfair

to have somebody lose their job

over basically a personalmedical decision.

- [Dale] But the SurgeonGeneral defended the mandate.

- If we want our economy back,

if we want our schools to stay in session,

we've got to take steps

and make sure workplaces andlearning environments are safe.

- But one upstate New York hospital

has had to stop delivering babies

after maternity staff quitover a COVID vaccine mandate.
