Experts from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said last night (Saturday) that the benefits of administering vaccines against Corona made by Pfizer to 11-5 year olds outweigh the risk of side effects of the vaccine.

The FDA report has been released ahead of the discussion on vaccine approval for this age group, which will be held this coming Tuesday.

A few hours before the FDA announcement, Pfizer announced that a study conducted among this age group found that the vaccine showed 90.7% efficacy in disease prevention.

If the Pfizer vaccine is approved for children aged 11-5, they will receive two vaccines at a dose three times lower than that given to vaccinators over the age of 12. If approval is given at the hearing by regulators, US authorities may begin vaccinating this age group early. November.

The study was conducted by Pfizer in 2,268 children, some of whom received two doses of vaccine at a dose of 10 micrograms, a third of the dose received by adults and adolescents, and the rest received placebo doses.

Sixteen children who participated in the study were infected with corona, compared with only three who became infected after being vaccinated with Pfizer's vaccine.

Pfizer and Modernera vaccines have sometimes been linked to young men with myocarditis.

However, according to FDA experts, assuming the number of cases of myocarditis among 11-5 year olds is similar to the number of cases among 15-12 year olds who are already vaccinated against the virus, then it appears that the number of corona-related hospitalizations will be higher than the number of developmental hospitalizations Of myocarditis due to the vaccine.

Thus, according to experts, arises in most possible scenarios.

Last month senior medical officials in the United States said regulators are expected to make a decision on vaccine efficacy about three weeks from the time of application.

In the United States, coronary heart disease has soared in recent months, and in children under 12 in particular, since the more contagious delta strain has spread.

However, there is no indication that the delta strain is more dangerous to children than the original corona virus.
