The Health Ministry plans on adding the Covid vaccine to the initial round of vaccines given to newborn babies in the hospital reports Zman Emet.
In other words, even if the emergency protocol is canceled and Covid-19 is labeled an endemic, the covid vaccine will be added to the standard inoculations administered to children.
“Therefore, soon, it appears as though the vaccine will become part of the standard vaccines given to children under the age of five” professor Nadav Davidovich, head researcher for national health.
“It’s still unclear when it will be approved. Obviously, it will have to go through all of the regulatory protocols.”
Along with Davidovich, Dr. Asher Shelmon, the Health Ministry’s director of international relations, was also quoted in several media foreign outlets that in April, Israel plans on administering Codid shots to babies from 6 months old.
In the meantime, Pfizer is undergoing clinical trials on infants to reduce the age of the vaccine from five years to six months. Chief Medical Advisor to the President Dr. Anthony Fauci said that the FDA could approve Prizer’s covid vaccine for children under the age of five by next month.
