(CNN) Mandating Covid-19 vaccines for children to attend school in person is a "good idea" due to a strong benefit-risk ratio, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday.

(CNN电) 安东尼·福奇博士周日表示，由于儿童接种疫苗的收益风险比相对较高，儿童入学强制接种新冠疫苗不失为一个“好主意”。

"I believe that mandating vaccines for children to appear in school is a good idea," Fauci told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

“我认为强制儿童在学校接种疫苗是一个好主意。”福奇在“国情咨文”节目中告诉CNN的记者杰克·塔珀。

Fauci acknowledged that there will be a lot of people pushing back on this idea, but said he believes the US Food and Drug Administration as well as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which advises the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will establish a strong benefit-risk ratio for this, especially given that the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine now has full FDA approval.

福奇博士承认,针对这个想法，有很多人在会产生疑虑。但是在考虑到辉瑞生产的新冠疫苗现在已经获得了FDA的全面批准，福奇认为曾向美国疾病控制和预防中心提出建议的美国食品和药物管理局以及免疫实践咨询委员会，将会为此提供一个有说服力的接种疫苗收益风险比的数据。

Intense debate has been swirling around vaccine mandates for schoolchildren, though none of the widely available Covid-19 vaccines in the US have yet been authorized for use in people under the age of 12. The idea of mandating a vaccine for children once it's available to them has become more prominent in recent months as the highly transmissible Delta Covid-19 variant has caused a spike in cases, especially among younger Americans.

尽管在美国广泛使用的新冠疫苗中，还没有一种被授权用于12岁以下人群，但围绕儿童疫苗授权的激烈辩论一直在进行。近几个月来，随着高传染性的德尔塔变异毒株导致在美国年轻人中引发的病例激增，强制儿童接种疫苗的想法变得更加突出。

Fauci, who serves as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, emphasized on Sunday that the idea of mandating vaccines for children in schools is nothing new.

美国国家过敏和传染病研究所所长福奇周日强调，在学校强制儿童接种疫苗的想法由来已久。

"This is not something new. We have mandates in many places in schools, particularly public schools, that if in fact you want a child to come in -- we've done this for decades and decades requiring (vaccines for) polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis," he said. "So this would not be something new, requiring vaccinations for children to come to school."

“这并不是什么新鲜事。我们在许多地方的学校，特别是公立学校，都有类似的规定。如果你想让孩子来上学，孩子须接种小儿麻痹症、麻疹、腮腺炎、风疹和肝炎疫苗。这样的规定，我们已经贯彻了几十年。”“因此，要求孩子们来上学必须接种疫苗，这不是什么新鲜事。”

ACIP will be meeting Monday to go over safety and efficacy data of the fully-approved Pfizer vaccine.

ACIP将于周一召开会议，审查辉瑞公司完全批准的疫苗的安全性和有效性的相关数据。

Former top official lays out timeline for kids' vaccine approval.

前高级官员列出了儿童疫苗批准的时间表。

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former FDA commissioner who is on the board of Pfizer, on Sunday gave some additional insight into the authorization timeline for a Covid-19 vaccine for 5-11 year-olds, telling CBS News that the drug maker will be in a position to file the data for authorization "at some point in September."

FDA前委员、辉瑞董事会成员斯科特•戈特利布博士，于周日就面向5-11岁儿童的新冠疫苗授权时间表提出了一些新的见解。他告诉哥伦比亚广播公司，该制药商将“在9月的某个时段”提交数据申请授权。

Gottlieb went on to say that Pfizer could then file the application for Emergency Use Authorization for this age group "potentially as early as October."

戈特利布进一步表示，辉瑞公司可能“最早在10月份”就会为这个年龄段的人申请疫苗的紧急使用授权。

"That'll put us on a timeframe where the vaccines could be available at some point late fall, more likely early winter, depending on how long FDA takes to review the application," he said.

他说:“这将为我们提供一个时间框架，疫苗可能会在秋末的某个时间点问市，不过初冬问市的可能性更大，这将取决于FDA需要多长时间来审查申请。”

Gottlieb also pointed out that "historically, they've taken four to six weeks to review these authorizations," but it could take longer than that depending on how much long-term follow-up data the FDA will require.

戈特利布还指出：“根据审核历史，他们需要4到6周的时间来审查这些授权，”但也不排除需要更长的时间的可能，因为这将由FDA需要的长期随访数据的数量多少来决定。

"They're going to base their decision on what the circumstances around the country, what the urgency is, to get to a vaccine for kids," Gottlieb said.

戈特利布表示:“他们将根据全国的具体情况和疫情的紧迫程度做出决定，为儿童接种疫苗。”
