Donate Covid vax shots to poor countries instead of vaccinating children: WHO

The World Health Organization has said that rather than vaccinating children now, countries should donate Covid vaccine to poor countries. 

A panel of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has endorsed using the Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine for children as young as 12 years.

Pfizer is the first vaccine manufacturer to gain emergency use authorisation for younger Americans after it demonstrated in a March clinical trial that its jab was 100 per cent effective in preventing the disease among study participants who were aged between 12 to 15.
