Following the TGA’s provisional approval, ATAGI has put forth a guideline that recommends the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine (Spikevax) in children aged 6 to 11 years. 

Clinical data supports that Spikevax produces a strong immune response and reduces the likelihood of children in this cohort developing COVID-19. 

This statement addresses the recommendations, considerations and rationale for the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine in children aged 6 to 11.
