Why?
Quoted from Reuters, Wednesday (14/10/2020), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) The United States said that the Covid-19 vaccine may not initially be recommended for children, when available.
The children, who rarely have severe coronavirus symptoms, have not been tested for the experimental coronavirus vaccine.
The CDC says so far initial clinical trials have only included adults who are not pregnant, noting the recommended cohort could change in the future as clinical trials expand to recruit more people.
The CDC also said any Covid-19 virus vaccine would, at least initially, be used under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ‘s emergency use authorization, and that there may be a limited supply of the vaccine before the end of 2020.
If supply is limited, several groups may be advised to acquire the Covid-19 vaccine first.
The Covid-19 vaccine must be launched in four phases, with initial supplies going to health workers, frontline workers and the elderly.
Meanwhile, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned countries not to secure vaccine doses for their own citizens as the US and China have done.
This is known as vaccine nationalism.
