Sweden Won't Recommend Vaccinating Children Under 12 Due To Lack Of
'Clear Benefit'

Last week, the World Health Organization's chief scientist admitted
that there's no evidence that healthy children need booster doses of
the Covid-19 vaccine.

Now, the Swedish government has declined to recommend the vaccine for
children under the age of 12 after concluding that there would be
little medical benefit.

In a Thursday press release, Sweden's Public Health Agency said that
the medical benefit of the vaccine for those aged 5-11 years-old is
"currently small," and that while the benefits are "constantly" under
assessment, they will have decided against a general recommendation
for children under the age of 12 for spring 2022, according to
Reuters.

"With the knowledge we have today, with a low risk for serious disease
for kids, we don't see any clear benefit with vaccinating them," said
Health Agency official Britta Bjorkholm during a news conference.

The agency's Director General, Karin Tegmark, said that guidance would
be once again updated before the fall term.

"A general vaccination from the age of 5 is also not expected to have
any major effect on the spread of infection at present, neither in the
group of children aged 5–11 nor among other groups in the population,"
reads the press release.

The Swedish government currently recommends vaccination for children
over the age of 12, as well as for high-risk children between the ages
of 5-11.

The move comes roughly three weeks after the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) approved booster shots for adolescents
aged 12 to 17, while Israel is now offering boosters to children as
young as 12.
