The Government has signalled the Pfizer-BionNTech Covid vaccine could soon be made available to children.
It comes after Pfizer on Monday announced its Covid vaccine was effective in protecting youth aged 5 to 11 from the virus, and the company would seek US authorisation for this age group soon.
At today’s 1pm press conference, director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said the Pfizer’s vaccine trials among children had shown “very positive results”.
