AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine should only be given to people aged between 18 and 64, Germany’s vaccine committee said in a draft update to its vaccine recommendation, a day ahead of a decision by European regulators on the drugmaker’s shot, Reuters reports.
“There is currently insufficient data available to assess the vaccine efficacy from 65 years of age,” the committee said in a draft resolution made available by the German health ministry.
“The AstraZeneca vaccine, unlike the mRNA vaccines, should only be offered to people aged 18-64 years at each stage.”
