European Medicines Agency recommends approval of vaccination of children aged 5 to 11 with the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended that the use of Comirnaty, the COVID-19 vaccine produced by BioNTech/Pfizer, be extended to children aged between 5 and 11, the organisation said on Thursday.

 

EMA is suggesting using a lower dose of the vaccine for children between the ages of 5 and 11, than the dose used for people aged 12 and above (10 µg compared with 30 µg). The vaccine will be given as two injections, three weeks apart.
