The Health Minister is 'confident' Pfizer will be approved for children aged five to 11 as vaccination rates across the country continue to exceed expectations.

Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt is"confident" Pfizer can proceed through all three stages of the application process to allow the vaccine to be administered to children age five to 11.

"I think that's a very important sign and it offers additional support and protection for parents and families. It's coming at an earlier time than we had previously expected, so I'm very, very pleased about that."Mr Hunt said the bid has come earlier than expected but he was"pleased" more Australians will be protected.

The TGA will weigh up whether the benefits outweigh any side effects that may come to vaccinating young children with a coronavirus jab.

Pfizer has also asked the US government to approve the vaccine for the five to 11-year-old age group as it formally filed an application to the Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorisation.Pfizer said its research showed younger children should get a third dose of a vaccine that is currently being given to older US residents.

GregHuntMP I suspect you may find parents are less keen to use their kids as medical experiments & the pushback may surprise you Lillyruskii CraigKellyMP TopherField

Little girl with rash 4 weeks after covid, nothing helping. The covid patient groups are full of these- new onset allergies & MCAS diagnoses.

Sick Hunt!! Put this jerk behind bars!!

So we’ve gone from vaccinating the elderly and immune compromised, to everyone with no longer term knowledge of any side effects, diseases or cancers these jabs may cause. Not one child under 15 has died in this country from covid. Are the TGA just approving what there told too.

The TGA will approve whatever it is paid to approve. This insanity to inject the least vulnerable with this sorcery is evidence the TGA is not concerned about health in the slightest
