La Haya. La Agencia Europea de Medicamentos (EMA) aprobó este lunes una tercera dosis de refuerzo de la vacuna contra la covid-19 de Pfizer/BioNTech para los mayores de 18 años, ante la preocupación de que la protección disminuya tras las dos primeras inyecciones.

“Las dosis de refuerzo de Comirnaty pueden considerarse para personas de 18 años en adelante, al menos seis meses después de la segunda dosis”, dijo la EMA en un comunicado, citando el nombre comercial de la vacuna de Pfizer.
