STOCKHOLM—Sweden’s Public Health Agency said on Monday it recommended the use of Pfizer-BioNTech’s, Comirnaty vaccine against COVID-19 for children between 12 to 15, opting against rival Moderna’s Spikevax.
The European Medicines Agency approved the use of Comirnaty in May, while Spikevax was given the nod for children over 12 in July.
