aber news. The European Commission on Friday authorized the COVID-19 vaccine of Pfizer and partner BioNTech SE for children under 12 years of age. Earlier, the United States and Canada also approved to apply vaccines to their children. The decision comes after the European Medicine Agency (EMA) supported the use of the vaccine in children aged between 12 and 15 days a day. "This is a meaningful moment for teenagers, parents and entire families seeking protection from the virus and a return to normalcy," said Albert Bourla, Pfizer's president and chief executive officer.
Pfizer and BioNotech stated that the distribution and administration of vaccines by EU member states would continue to be determined according to the identified population and national guidance in the European Union. Germany on Thursday, pending the decision of the EMA, planned to give shots to 12-year-old children from June 7. Italy has also said that it is preparing to extend its campaign to children over the age of 12.
Vaccination of children and young people is considered an important step towards accessing herd immunity and overcoming the epidemic, and Japan on Friday joined the 12-year-old children in the countries advancing to the Cominternity. In the last 24 hours, 30,62,747 vaccines of Corona virus have been planted in the country, after which the total vaccination figure has increased to 20,89,02,445.
