Re: Coronavirus
AstraZeneca vaccine approved by EMA for all adults
Quote:
EU drug regulators have announced AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine can be given to all adults in the bloc.

The advice from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) comes after questions were raised in Germany over how effective the jab, developed with Oxford University, is in protecting older people.

Only 12% of those who took part in the trials were over 55 and they were enrolled later, so there has not been enough time to collate the results.
On Thursday, a draft recommendation from Germany's vaccination advisory committee said the AstraZeneca vaccine should currently only be given to people aged 18-64.
But the EU regulators said in a statement: "There are not yet enough results in older participants (over 55 years old) to provide a figure for how well the vaccine will work in this group.

"However, protection is expected, given that an immune response is seen in this age group and based on experience with other vaccines."
