The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) approved the use of the vaccine produced by the Pfizer-BioNTech consortium, Comirnaty, against covid-19 in young people between five and 11 years old.
The approval announced today (16), following a technical evaluation by the agency, on the application submitted in November, indicates the use of the vaccine for this audience.
The official recalled that the analyses had the participation of several experts from Anvisa and other entities. “We checked for protection and tolerability in the first phase. Other doses were implemented in this document. Based on the results, we concluded, “It is recommended to apply 10 micrograms, which is less than that applied to adults,” he said. He added that by comparing older children aged five to 11 with older children aged 16 to 2 five years [taking into account the corresponding doses for each group], the presence of antibodies in young people was identified. “We have also observed acceptable vaccine functionality against the Delta variant,” he said. “And there are no reports of serious adverse events, considerations, or reports similar to very severe cases or mortality from vaccination. This protection profile is very important,” he added.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine had already been used in adolescents over the age of 12.
According to Anvisa, the vaccine dose for the youngest will be different from the one used for those over 12 years of age. The bottles will also have other colors to avoid application errors.
