[이코노믹리뷰=황진중 기자] The German Vaccination Committee recommended that AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine be administered only to those aged 18-64. It is considered that clinical data is insufficient on whether the vaccine is effective for people over 65 years of age.

According to the BBC on the 28th (local time), the vaccination committee belonging to the Robertkoch Institute, a German disease control agency, recommended in a statement that the AstraZeneca Corona 19 vaccine should be administered only to those aged 18 to 64 years old.

The committee added, “Currently, there is not enough data to evaluate whether this vaccine works for people over 65.”

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is expected to decide on conditional use of AstraZeneca on the 29th.
