Earlier today, the EMA announced that it has approved the Pfizer vaccine for children aged 12 to 15, the first vaccine to get the green light for children in the EU.
Currently, everyone over the age of 16 in Malta can get vaccinated, with the country having reached herd immunity earlier this week.
Malta also ranked lowest in the EU for the rate of Covid-19 cases and deaths and was placed on the ‘green list’ by the ECDC for its low case numbers.
