Australia, quickly becoming one of most-vaccinated nations against COVID-19, has been told by its regulators that its independent decision on whether to approve Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children could come as early as January, officials said on Sunday.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said medical regulators are still waiting for more “real-world” health and safety data for the vaccinations after the United States went ahead with an emergency approval for the Pfizer mRNA vaccine for children above the age of five.
