Decision on Covid-19 vaccine for children by end of May

Kingston Mills, professor of experimental immunology at Trinity College Dublin, says there is evidence to support extending the interval between the first and second doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. 

A Covid-19 vaccine for children aged 12 to 15 could be approved for use in Ireland by the end of this month.

The US Food and Drug Agency (FDA) on Tuesday permitted the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine for teenagers aged under 16.
