Gulf country Bahrain has approved the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use for children aged 5 to 11 years, the government announced on Tuesday.
The decision follows a study involving 3,100 children from this age group who were administered the vaccine and found it to b e 90.7% effective, the government’s statement said, citing the National Health Regulatory Authority.
None of the children involved in the study showed any severe side effects, the statement continued.
The Gulf nation said it will be supplied with doses for children from the manufacturer starting 2022.
Bahrain approved last week the use of China’s Sinopharm on children aged 3 to 11.
Several other countries have begun using different vaccines to inoculate children under 12, including China, which began vaccinations for 3-year-olds.
