Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine is provisionally approved for young children. This is what we know
Australian children aged six months to five years old could soon be rolling up their sleeves for a COVID-19 jab.
On Tuesday, Australia's national medical regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), announced Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine could safely be given to young children in doses one-quarter the size of that approved for adults.
It's the first time in Australia a COVID-19 vaccine has been provisionally approved for this age group.
But federal health minister Mark Butler stressed the TGA's decision was "just the first step in a process".
