Pfizer Covid 19 Vaccine

Pfizer announced Friday that it wants to test a third dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in the under-fives, as the low dosage such small children can handle may not offer the same protection that older children enjoy from just two shots.

German health authorities on Wednesday advised against the use of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine for people under 30 due to evidence of a small risk of cardiac inflammation.

A new study has revealed that the side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab against COVID-19 in 12-15-year-olds at high risk of complications from the infection are likely to be mild to moderate.

Facebook said it had removed a network of accounts from Russia that it linked to a marketing firm that aimed to enlist influencers to push anti-vaccine content about the COVID-19 jabs.

Britain will offer all 16 and 17 year olds their first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, Britain's vaccine advisers said on Wednesday, extending eligibility of the shots to children beyond the clinically vulnerable.

The French drug giant and its British counterpart GlaxoSmithKline surprised investors and customers last year when they announced a one-year delay to the launch of their joint COVID vaccine, based on a more conventional technology.

Pfizer/BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine offers more protection than earlier thought with effectiveness in preventing symptomatic disease reaching 97 percent, according to real-world evidence published Thursday by the pharmaceutical companies.

Britain has used an emergency approval process to jump ahead of the EU and US in rollout plans of the vaccine

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) on Tuesday said it would hold an extraordinary meeting on December 29 "at the latest" to consider emergency approval for a Covid-19 vaccine developed by Germany's BioNTech and US giant Pfizer.

YouTube said it is adding a link to provide information on the development of COVID-19 vaccines to the coronavirus panel on its site, expanding its efforts to combat misinformation related to the pandemic.
