(Alliance News) - Germany's vaccine commission on Friday maintained its advice against using AstraZeneca PLC's coronavirus vaccines on older people, despite the EU regulator's decision to authorise it for all adults in the bloc over 18 years old.
"Because of currently available data, the Covid-19 vaccine by AstraZeneca is recommended only for people aged 18 to 64 years old. The reason is because there is currently insufficient data on the effectiveness of the vaccines on people above 65 years old," said the commission known as STIKO.
