The World Health Organization’s vaccine advisory group, SAGE, updated recommendations of use for the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to now include children down to the age of 5, with a reduced dosage being given to those between 5 and 11 years old, Alejandro Cravioto, chair of SAGE, said on Friday.
