Moderna Inc. said Friday that the European Medicines Agency is
formally recommending the use of the company's Covid-19 booster
shot for adolescents in the European Union.
The regulator's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use
has adopted a positive opinion recommending Moderna's Spikevax
booster for people between the ages of 12 and 17.
The agency said the booster should come at least three months
after completion of the primary vaccine series.
Moderna's chief executive, Stéphane Bancel, said the company is
looking ahead for an authorization decision from the European
Commission.
