It is underestimated to say that the vaccination of the youngest against Covid did not tempt the French at this stage. While Pfizer’s Pediatric Commerce, equivalent to one-third of the adult dose, is licensed for children ages 5-11, only 3% of 5-9 year olds receive at least one dose of two, according to Public Health France. . The bracket for 10-11 year olds rises to as low as 10%. It has nothing to do with 85% registered among 12-17 year olds.
It must be said that last winter the tone of the authorities on this topic remained very moderate. The highest body of health, the French Association of Pediatrics, has strongly recommended this vaccine for children 5 to 11 years of age who are at risk for serious diseases, such as those living with immunodeficiency or vulnerable people. But for others the wording was less clear. HAS experts wanted the vaccine “Available”But no “Because” neither “mandatory ».
