Hong Kong said on Wednesday it had approved a version of the BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for babies and children under five years old, part of broader measures to boost vaccination uptake in the financial hub.

The government said it was discussing with the vaccine manufacturer the timeframe for when it would be available in the Chinese special administrative region. The government has said that each shot contains one-tenth of the adult dosage, reducing the chance of side effects.. Sinovac and BioNTech are the two vaccines available for Hong Kong residents.

The government has singled out the city’s elderly and infants as being the most vulnerable to COVID-19 and said there have been several severe COVID-19 cases involving children who required intensive care.
