AstraZeneca PLC said Monday that its Covid-19 vaccine has been
granted approval in the European Union as a third dose booster for
adults.
The pharmaceutical company said that its Vaxzevria vaccine can
now be used as a third dose booster in patients previously given a
vaccine schedule of either Vaxzevria or other EU-approved
vaccines.
"Although more than 65% of the global population has received at
least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, there remains a significant
challenge to ensure people receive both their primary vaccine
schedule and third-dose booster, and healthcare professionals now
have greater flexibility in their choice of vaccine," AstraZeneca
said.
