BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany’s vaccine regulator should recommend within days that AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines can be given to people older than 65 as evidence mounts of their efficacy, Health Minister Jens Spahn said on Wednesday.
Data from Britain show that the jab works “very well” in older people, Spahn told German television, adding that he had asked the regulator to adjust its recommendation accordingly so the vaccine can be rolled out quickly to those over 65.
