Experts note that vaccination against Covid-19 offers healthy children little individual benefit.
The Supreme Health Council, the independent body that advises the government, allows people aged 12 to 15 to be vaccinated against the coronavirus after adults and between 16 and 17 years old. This came in a report from the council sent to the federal and regional welfare ministers, which de Tejd was able to see.
The vaccination is especially useful for 12 to 15-year-olds with underlying conditions. The Supreme Health Council requires that they be vaccinated quickly. The cards are different for everyone else in that age group, because experts point out that vaccination offers them little individual benefit.
Ministers will discuss the matter at a meeting of the Joint Ministerial Conference on Wednesday, when they are likely to give the final green light for vaccination.
