BioNTech CEO: Children aged 5 and up could be vaccinated against coronavirus in mid-October
BioNTech is to file results of clinical trials to the EMA in the coming weeks, chief Özlem Türeci said.
The first 5-year-olds could be vaccinated against COVID-19 from mid-October, according to BioNTech chief Özlem Türeci.
In an interview published today by Spiegel, Türeci said the company has completed the clinical trials and is preparing the data to file to the European Medicines Agency.
"In the coming weeks, we will present the results” to global regulators including the EMA, he said.
The EMA’s vaccines lead Marco Cavaleri told a press briefing on Thursday that the agency was expecting to receive data on 5-to-11s “at least for some of the vaccines, during the fall.”
