Pfizer. BioNTech: The vaccine is safe even in small children

Drug producers said their evidence has shown that vaccine is safe and effective for children from 5 to 11.

In the United States, Pfizer vaccine/ BioNTech, which is given in two doses, is currently available for persons 12 and older.

Pfizer and BioNTech said they would submit a request to the FDA to request urgent authorisation of the vaccine in children between 5 and 11 years of age in the coming weeks.

Once demand is made, there are regulators and public health officials who decide whether to recommend the use of the vaccine for this age group.

According to the AP news agency, this process may not be completed until the end of November. But depending on how fast the FDA operates, vaccines can become available even in early November, the AP writes.

Pfizer and BioNTech plan to submit their data to the European Bars Agency EMA and other regulators.

The other American producer of vaccines, Moderna, is also testing his vaccines among primary school - age children. Its results are expected later in the year.

Providing child vaccines is considered key to curbing the body's body and turning the world into a degree of normality.

Although data suggests that coronary symptoms are less severe in children, the virus has closed schools across the globe and has pressured some parents to stay at home or leave their jobs because of distant teachings.

In other developments, Brazil became the last country to say it would provide strengthening vaccines against the Coronavirus for all its inhabitants over 60 years of age.

Costa Rica said that all of her state employees would have to be vaccinated against the coronary, thus becoming one of the first countries in Latin America to impose mandatory vaccination. Private companies would also be able to order their employees to be vaccinated, the Health Ministry said.

Croatia, on the other hand, said it would require employees in the health and social care sectors to vaccinate or provide negative test for the coronary.

“Those who do not want to be vaccinated or tested and have not passed the disease will not be allowed to go to their place of work and will not receive salaries”, said Croatian Health Minister Willy Beross. The new rules will take effect next week.

In a new study conducted by Oxford University, researchers found that smokers are 80 percent more likely to be hospitalised and evidently more likely to die of coronarys than nonduhanpiers.

Our results strongly suggest that smoking is linked to the risk of serious coronary disease. Just as smoking has an impact on the risk of heart disease, various cancers, and others, it seems that the same is true of choreography”, said Oxford lead researcher Ashley Cliff.

According to Johns Hopkins University data, the Coronavirus has affected over 232 million people worldwide. Of them, over 4.7 million have died. / REL
