CDC gives final OK for immediate distribution of Pfizer Covid vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11
Source: CNBC
As I read the phrase "Covid vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11", I immediately thought of "Covid vaccine for kids aging 5 to 11" and wondered whether "ages" is used correctly here. But on second thought, it seems that "ages 5 to 11" can serve as an adverbial phrase of time to make the headline grammatical. I am not very sure.
Are both "Covid vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11" and "Covid vaccine for kids aging 5 to 11" grammatical and natural?
