Kids in Australia would soon be eligible to get the COVID-19 jab.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announced on Friday that it has approved the Pfizer vaccine for use in children as young as 12 years.
Now it is up to the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) to advise the federal government on where children should fit in the national vaccination program.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said on Friday that “the early advice I have is they (ATAGI) will fast-track vaccines for 12-15 year old’s who are immunocompromised or have underlying medical conditions.”
“They would be immediately added to phase 1b and would be able to book in,” he said.
