Biontech Works On Covid-19 Vaccine For Children Under 12

Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of BioNTech Ozlem Tureci said Friday that her German company is working to create a COVID-19 vaccine for children under age 12 within a few weeks.

In the upcoming weeks, they will present to laboratories around the world the results of their study dedicated to creating a COVID-19 vaccine for children between the ages of five and 11, then apply for approval of the vaccine for this age group, Tureci was quoted as saying by the weekly magazine Der Spiegel. BioNTech started preparing for production of the vaccine, which is similar to the one for adults; yet at a lower dose, she added. Results of the study are ready and must be submitted to competent authorities, she underlined, reassuring that everything is going according to plan.
