Schedule Vaccine Appointments

People between the ages of 12 and 17 have been able to receive the  COVID-19 vaccine since June 15. Currently, 69% of this age group has received their first dose. With the spread of the Delta variant, the question arises: should children under 12 be vaccinated? While the benefits of the COVID-19  vaccine for younger children are still being debated, Pfizer and BioNTech have just announced that their vaccine is safe for children between the ages of 5 and 11.
Pfizer states that the vaccine offers a robust immune response and is well-tolerated.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced, in a press release published on September 20, the positive results of their clinical trial conducted with 2,268 children between the ages of 5 and 11. Participants received two 10-microgram doses of the vaccine, 21 days apart. It is worth noting that the dose for children over 12 years of age is 30 micrograms.

The results indicate that their COVID-19 vaccine is safe, as it generates a robust and well-tolerated immune response. According to Pfizer and BioNTech, the immune response obtained is comparable to that observed in volunteers aged 16 to 25 who comprised the control group in this trial. The same is true for side effects, which were also comparable to those identified in the 16-to-25-year-old group.

Given these encouraging results, Pfizer and BioNTech stated that they were “eager to extend the protection offered by the vaccine to this younger population, subject to obtaining regulatory approval,” as emphasized by Pfizer’s Chairman and CEO, Albert Bourla.
