The Health Authority of Canada has permitted the use of the Pfizer vaccine against the Corona virus for ages from 12 to 16 years.
According to the “Associated Press”, it is also expected that the US Food and Drug Administration will authorize the use of the “Pfizer” vaccine for young people by next week, to prepare enough vaccines before the start of the next school year..
This announcement comes about a month after the company discovered that its vaccine, which is already authorized for use for ages 16 or older, also offers protection for younger groups..
In late March, Pfizer published preliminary results from a study of 2,260 volunteers in America between the ages of 12 and 15 and showed that there were no cases of Covid-19 among adolescents who received their full vaccine, compared to 18 cases among those who received a placebo vaccine..
