Can you give us an update on the vaccine for children? When do you envisage this will become available? – Anna Chircop
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the US Centres for Disease Control (CDC) have recently authorised the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children from 12 years up.
