The national department of health on Friday said local Covid-19 vaccines are not registered for use in children, but studies are being conducted to make them available to the younger population.
“There are conditions under the registration of the Sinovac vaccine that need to be met for the vaccine to be used. We are looking at those conditions from an implementation perspective, which includes that further studies need to be done to answer questions to which there is insufficient evidence.
Crisp said the work is being planned with the department of science and innovation and the SA Medical Research Council and will form part of an initial introduction of Sinovac vaccines when the time is right.
