Biontech/Pfizer’s Corona vaccine can now be given to children aged five to eleven in Israel. This was decided by the Ministry of Health on Sunday (Nov. 14), after a panel of experts had previously spoken out in favor. The additional doses needed are to be delivered to Israel in the coming days, allowing an immediate start of the vaccination campaign for younger children, the newspaper Haaretz reported. According to the report, only 2 of the 75 experts consulted by the Health Ministry voted against releasing the drug for children five years and older. At the end of October, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had already granted emergency approval for Biontech/Pfizer’s Corona vaccine for children between the ages of five and eleven. The agency recommended a dose of ten micrograms for this age group, and the same amount is now to be injected in Israel. For children twelve years and older and adults, 30 micrograms are planned.
