The Biden administration has reached an agreement to purchase 105 million doses of Pfizer s Covid-19 vaccine, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday.
The companies have received the nod after inking a sub-licensing pact with Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), a UN-based public health organisation working to increase access to life-saving medicines for low- and middle-income countries.
According to a study by New York researchers, two doses of the BioNTech, Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is only 12 per cent effective in children aged 5-11 years old.
As part of an ongoing effort to get more children vaccinated against COVID-19, the Cayuga County Health Department has scheduled two clinics during the upcoming winter school break.
