COVID-19 vaccines: British health officials refuse to approve shots for healthy children ages 12-15
Fox News
British health officials have refused to approve COVID-19 vaccinations for healthy children aged 12-15 years old.
The decision on healthy children was based on concern over an extremely rare side effect of the Pfizer vaccine that causes heart inflammation, the BBC reported. "The margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal COVID-19 vaccination for this age group at this time," said Wei Shen Lim, chair of COVID immunization for the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization (JCVI). "The committee will continue to review safety data as they emerge."More Related News
