Kuwait Begins Vaccinating Children From The Age Of 5 Years
The Ministry of Health announced the opening of registration for the “Covid-19” vaccination against Corona for children aged 5 years and above.
Yesterday The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has decided that the benefits of jabbing children between five and 11 years old with the Pfizer vaccine outweigh any other health risks.
The FDA issued emergency approval for Pfizer to be given to children in that age range, with two shots three weeks apart. The decision awaits final approval from the CDC.
Data from the company’s clinical trials found that a paediatric dose of the vaccine – one third of that given to adults and adolescents – was safe and 90% effective.
If the CDC director approves the jab, 15 million doses will go out to paediatric offices, children’s hospitals and pharmacies around the country. Following the FDA’s green light on Friday, the CDC is expected to follow suit on 2 November, meaning jabs for five-year-olds could begin as soon as a day later.
