Pfizer Covid vaccine authorized in Brazil for children between 5 and 11 years of age

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - Anvisa, Brazil's regulatory body, authorized this Thursday for the first time the vaccination of children against Covid-19 with the immunizer from Pfizer/BioNTech. However, the Ministry of Health lacks specific doses intended for people between 5 and 11 years of age.

The regulatory agency made a series of technical recommendations to reduce the dose intended for children between 5 and 11 years of age by two-thirds.

Child vaccination had been repudiated last October by President Jair Bolsonaro, who had said that his daughter Laura, 11, should not be vaccinated against Covid-19.
