Covid19 in Germany
29.05.2021: After EMA approval: Vaccination priority for sick children?
Berlin (dpa) - Federal Education Minister Anja Karliczek has spoken out in favour of offering covid-vaccination to at least children with severe diseases by the start of the school year. On Friday, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) had given the green light for EU approval of the Biontech preparation for children aged 12 to 15. However, formal approval by the EU Commission is still pending, as is the review by the German Standing Commission on Vaccination (Stiko) as to whether it recommends vaccination for Germany.
