Australia on Dec. 5 cleared the first COVID-19 vaccine for children aged five to 11, with the next stage of its vaccine rollout expected to start in early 2022.

Health Minister Greg Hunt said medical regulators had granted provisional approval for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to be administered to younger children for the first time.

Vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine may continue in all EU countries from tomorrow, Bogdan Kirilov, executive director of the Bulgarian Drug Agency said on March 18.

He added that there is an official statement which confirms the effectiveness of the vaccine and there is no problem to continue using it.
