The German Vaccine Committee STIKO recommended Thursday that all teenagers ages 12-17 receive a booster dose from Covid-19 vaccine.
The committee said the third dose should be the injection of mRNA from BioNTech Y Pfizer and that it should be given no later than three months after the child has received the second injection.
STIKO had updated its guidance in August to recommend that all children and adolescents ages 12 to 17 receive the Covid-19 vaccine.
