The EU’s main COVID vaccine provider, BioNTech-Pfizer, will have shots available for children in the bloc in two weeks’ time, says European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen.
Leyen says she spoke with the German-US joint venture about the issue yesterday, and it said it was “able to accelerate — in other words children’s vaccines will be available as of December 13.”
Israel begin vaccinating children under age 12 last week, following in the footsteps of the United States.
