Coreper has started the evaluation of the request for use of a booster dose of the BioNTech / Pfizer vaccine in adolescents 12-15 years old

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has begun evaluating an application for Comirnaty booster dose (BioNTech / Pfizer vaccine) for adolescents aged 12 to 15 years. The application is also in progress for older adolescents aged 16 to 17 years.

Booster doses in vaccinated people (ie in people who have completed their initial vaccination) are given to restore protection after it has weakened. Comirnaty boosters may be given to people 18 years of age or older at present.

The EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) will conduct a rapid review of data submitted by Comirnaty’s trading company, including real-world results from Israel.
