The Ministry of Health has reported that 323 new cases have been detected today in the Canary Islands, on the same day that Tenerife and Gran Canaria have been kept in Level despite a large increase in infections and incidence rates.
Of the new cases, 136 are in Tenerife, 124 are in Gran Canaria, 29 are in Fuerteventura, 19 are in Lanzarote, 13 are in La Palma, and 2 are in La Gomera.
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has approved, in a meeting held this afternoon (Thursday), to approve the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19 in children from 5 to 11 years old.
The dose will be lower than that used in people 12 years of age or older (10 ug as opposed to 30 ug), and will be administered in two injections into the upper arm muscles three weeks apart.
This decision comes amid a large increase in COVID cases throughout Europe, mainly due to poor vaccination coverage in some countries, and because children under 11 years of age have not yet been able to receive the vaccine.
In fact, in Spain, those under 11 years of age are the ones with the highest cumulative incidence rate over 14 days with 203.57 per 100,000 inhabitants, according to data published yesterday from the Ministry of Health, well ahead of the next group, which is people between 40 and 49 years old, which stands at 155.91.
