Australia asks Pfizer for urgent data on giving its vaccine to kids

Health Minister Greg Hunt has written to the head of Pfizer Australia asking the pharmaceutical company to provide data on the effectiveness of its vaccine in young kids as soon as possible as some children’s health experts say children should be vaccinated as a matter of priority.. That trial data is yet to be published, but Pfizer said it would be applying for emergency approval from the US medical regulator before making similar applications in Europe.

Commonwealth Chief Nursing and Midwifery officer Professor Allison McMillan said Australia has more than enough supplies to give vaccines to children under the age of 12 as soon as it was approved. “The TGA will take all of those internationally agreed-to guidelines about assessing that clinical data. When that’s done, then we can start working to the administering of this vaccine to children, five to 11,” she said.Epidemiologist Professor Mary-Louise McLaws said the Delta variant has a similar reproduction rate to whooping cough, which has a hospitalisation rate of about 2 per cent.

“At the end of the day, we don’t have an approved vaccine for younger children anywhere in the world, and we do need to wait for the science to come in because children are different to adults and [in] their response to vaccines,” he told the committee.

rachelclun And no doubt will be adopted without any firm of independent research. No way would I give a child this experimental drug and expose their health to life long defects. To the young, covid is but a sniffle

rachelclun Here is some for you

rachelclun Pfizer's CEO has not been vaccinated & recommended against vaccinations, why are so few people, not listening to his advice?

rachelclun Can't be that urgent. A month too late to get in the queue. Albert Bourla CEO of Pfizer announced this was going to FDA end of September exactly a month ago on ABC America. And he's waited till now to contact them? A month to get into the queue!!

rachelclun We should be vaccinating adults in develop countries before kids this age in Australia. If we have a big number of 12 plus vaccinated (and we will) the kids this young will have pretty good protection.

rachelclun IMHO they should look to vaccinate several African, EMEA, South American countries first with their vaccines for fairness — children 👶. To provide a robust data analysis ahead of rollout. who DrTedros pfizer AstraZeneca moderna_tx

rachelclun Very few children end up with severe disease or in hospital: Doherty institute Britain 12 to 18, 2nd Jabs not recommended can cause side effects Study Finds Natural immunity offers STRONGER protection then the Vaccine I would go with the Natural immunity for my children

rachelclun Lol - the request went straight to the sales department! Would you like some steak knives with your order?
