German vaccine authority recommends AstraZeneca vaccine for older people - FAZ newspaper

BERLIN, March 4 (Reuters) - Germany's vaccine authority will
recommend AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine for
over-65s, the Frankfurter Allgemeine reported, news that
promises an easing of the supply constraints that have slowed
the country's vaccine roll-out.

The newspaper reported on Thursday that the Permanent
Vaccine Commission's (STIKO) recommendation had already been
written, but was still being discussed internally before being
made public.

STIKO could not immediately be reached for comment.
