The Stiko vaccine commission cited studies showing that mRNA jabs led in rare cases to the conditions myocarditis and pericarditis in younger patients, with slightly higher prevalence in those who received Moderna.As a result, the Stiko updated its coronavirus vaccine guidance and "recommends that people under 30 only be vaccinated with Comirnaty," the BioNTech-Pfizer jab, one day after France issued similar guidance.
The country notched up a record 8,613 new Covid-19 cases in 24 hours, the National Organisation of Public Health said, after cases more than doubled in less than a fortnight."We are facing a fourth wave," which "mainly concerns the unvaccinated," Mr Mitsotakis said after talks with his visiting Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte.
Nikos Kapravelos, head of the emergency department at the Papanikolaou Hospital, at the weekend warned against a new spike similar to during the second wave in November last year. Shops and malls in New Zealand's biggest city Auckland opened their doors open for the first time in three months as the city, which is at the epicentre of the country's coronavirus outbreak, gradually reopened.
"But the light is at the end of the tunnel. We will see reopenings in the very near future as Auckland starts to hit those targets," she said. Apart from the 1.7 million Aucklanders, and residents in some neighbouring regions, life for the rest of the population has largely returned to normal domestically although the country's borders still remain tightly shut.Czech authorities recorded 14,539 new Covid-19 infections on Tuesday, the highest daily tally since mid-March and close to all-time highs seen in January, health ministry data showed, as a vaccinations campaign started.
The latest vaccination campaign is using graphic pictures of Covid-19 victims accompanied by slogans like: "He did not find the time to get vaccinated." He said the speed of the rise in severe cases and the size of total infections, especially among the unvaccinated, are the major points to consider in deciding its future response to the healthcare system.
The country has inoculated 640,232 people with a booster shot, since the programme began last month, mainly using vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna.
