Europe. – The Committee for Human Medicines (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) gave conditional marketing authorisation to the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine against covid-19 for children from 12 to 15 years of age, which until now was authorised from more than 16 years of age.
At a press conference, head of Vaccine Strategy and Biological Threats for Health Marco Cavaleri gave the data to support its approval.
“I was already for young people from the age of 16 and now we have data showing that the vaccine is safe also at the ages of 12 to 15 and that is what allows the scientific community to conclude this decision today.”

As he explained the decision to use it, it will depend on each of the countries of the European Union to use it in this population.
“Member States will have to decide whether to use it and when to use it to protect a safe and effective vaccine for the younger population; it’s an important step in the fight against sorrow,” he added.
