EU recommends approving Moderna's Covid vaccine for children aged 12-17

The European medicines watchdog on Friday recommended approving the use of Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine for children aged 12 to 17.

The European Medicines Agency has recommended approving Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine for children aged 12 to 17, the first time the shot has been authorized for people under 18. In a decision on Friday, the EU drug regulator said research in more than 3,700 children aged 12 to 17 showed that the Moderna vaccine — already given the OK for adults across Europe — produced a comparable antibody response.
