Australia eyes Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccines for kids aged 5 to 11
21 September 2021 - Australian health officials have confirmed if approved the vaccine would be made widely available to children aged five to 11, after promising trial results showed a strong immune response and no dangerous reactions when the age group was given two Pfizer vaccines about a third of the normal adult dosage.
Health Minister Greg Hunt has invited Pfizer to apply to the Therapeutic Goods Administration for approval to use the vaccine in children aged five to 11, confirming they would be given the jab as a “priority” if recommended.
