The European Commission on Friday approved the adaptation of BionTech-Pfizer&#8217;s COVID-19 vaccine against the new omicron XBB.1 coronavirus subvariant. &#8220;The vaccine is licensed for adults, children and infants older than 6 months&#8230; this vaccine is another important milestone in the fight against the disease,&#8221; the EU executive said in a statement, recalling that this is the third update of the prophylactic. The update of the vaccine used under the trade name Comirnaty is also expected to &#8220;increase the breadth of immunity&#8221; against current dominant and emerging variants.<\/p>\n<p>COVID infection increases risk of having chronic illnesses 2 years later, major new study shows<br \/>\nFollowing guidelines from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), adults and children aged 5 years and older who require vaccination &#8220;should receive a single dose, regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination history,&#8221; the Commission added.<\/p>\n<p>The authorisation comes after a &#8220;rigorous assessment&#8221; by the EMA under the accelerated assessment mechanism to give Member States time to prepare for the autumn-winter vaccination campaign. The modification of the contract with BioNTech-Pfizer signed in May 2023 ensures that member states will continue to have access to vaccines adapted to the new COVID-19 variants in the coming years, the European executive said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2023\/09\/01\/covid-19-brussels-approves-adapted-pfizers-vaccine-to-combat-omicron-subvariants\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/covid-19-brussels-approves-adapted-pfizers-vaccine-to-combat-omicron-subvariants\/\">COVID-19: Brussels approves adapted Pfizer\u2019s vaccine to combat Omicron subvariants<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[720,5399,555,1747,4260,11326,884],"class_list":["post-116620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-brussels","tag-covid19","tag-csr-news-en","tag-omicron","tag-pfizer","tag-subvariant","tag-vaccine"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116620\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
