hello. J-BOX official store.
Pediatric vaccination in Japan has advanced.
“On January 21, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare granted special approval to a new coronavirus vaccine manufactured by Pfizer, a major US pharmaceutical company, for children aged 5 to 11 years old. At the subcommittee, it is expected to be positioned as a "temporary vaccination" to be conducted at public expense, and vaccination of children will start in March. "
In addition, the number of target children is estimated to be about 7 to 8 million.
"In a clinical trial (trial) conducted before the outbreak of the Omicron strain, the effect of preventing the onset of symptoms after 7 days after the second vaccination was 90.7%. According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the onset and severity of the Omicron strain were Although it is expected to have a certain degree of preventive effect, it is possible that it will be less effective than conventional strains.A subcommittee on June 26 will discuss whether to impose an obligation to make efforts to vaccinate children. The number of cases is increasing rapidly, but it is said that it is generally difficult to become severe."
In light of the above, Pfizer has also published information about vaccines for children (ages 5-11) on its website.
