UK Public Health Agency Approves COVID-19 vaccine for Babies Age Six Months- Four Years

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), a public health agency in the UK has signed its approval on administering COVID mRNA vaccines to babies from the age of six months old.

The mRNA vaccine will be given at a smaller dose than the older age groups, and still has to get the approval of the  Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) before it officially becomes recommended for this age group.

It’s noteworthy to mention that in it’s decision, the MHRA mentioned side effects ONLY in the context of mild, expected side effects. In their own words:

 “The common, expected side effects (reactogenicity) were in-keeping with what can be anticipated from a vaccine in this age group”

There was no mention of the uncommon, unexpected, and serious side effects.
