The drug manufacturer Pfizer said on Wednesday that its Coronavirus Vaccine is also safe for children up to 12 years of age. This announcement of the company is being seen as a possibility of vaccination of children of this age group before going to school. In many countries, doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are being given to adults who are highly susceptible to coronavirus infection. Presently, Pfizer vaccine is allowed to be administered to people 16 years of age or older.
Vaccination of children of all age groups is considered important to prevent corona. Also, it can clear the way for students of at least big classes to go to school. Pfizer said that 2,260 Americans aged 12 to 15 years were researched. According to preliminary data from this research, there were no reported cases of corona infection of any children taking full doses of the vaccine. This vaccine is 100 percent safe. However, this is a small study, which has not been published yet.
Large number of antibodies seen in children after vaccination
In such a situation, a question has arisen as to how well the immunity system of children protects them from corona after taking the vaccine dose. Researchers said that after the vaccine, more number of antibodies were found to fight the virus in children. Pfizer said that children should see side effects similar to those of young adults. Pain, fever, chills and fatigue were common in this. This was seen after taking the second dose of vaccine. Participants will be tracked for two years to understand the long-term effects of the vaccine.
Pfizer will seek permission to use vaccine in American and European regulators
Pfizer and its German partner BioNotech have planned to allow the US and European regulators to apply the vaccine to children over 12 years of age. Company CEO Albert Borla has said that we urge to expand the use of our vaccine. They are hoping to start vaccination of children of this age group before the next school session in America. Pfizer is not the only company to lower the age limit for its vaccine. The American study of Moderna’s vaccine on 12 to 17-year-old children will also be released soon.
