The U.K. medicines regulator, the MHRA, has approved the Moderna Covid vaccine for six to 11 year olds, describing it as “safe and effective”.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved an update to the current U.K. approval of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, or ‘Spikevax’, that allows its use in Great Britain (GB) in six to 11 year-olds.
This approval takes into account the extension to use in children aged six to 11 years already approved by the European Medicines Agency on March 2nd 2022, as the original GB licence for Spikevax in adults was approved by relying on the EU decision.
Spikevax is authorised in children aged six to 11 in Northern Ireland under the update granted by the European Medicines Agency on March 2nd.
Dr June Raine, MHRA Chief Executive, said:
I am pleased to confirm that that the COVID-19 vaccine made by Moderna, ‘Spikevax’, has now been authorised in Great Britain in six to 11 year olds. The vaccine is safe and effective in this age group.
We have in place a comprehensive surveillance strategy for monitoring the safety of all U.K.-approved COVID-19 vaccines and this surveillance includes those aged six to 11.
It is for the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to advise in due course on whether six to 11s should be offered vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine made by Moderna as part of the deployment programme.
How effective really is it against the immune-evading Omicron variant, though, and do the benefits really outweigh the risks in an age group at such low risk from the virus? There has been no assessment of this published by the MHRA, as far as I am aware.
The MHRA also today approved the Valneva Covid vaccine for 18-50 year-olds, which uses more traditional vaccine technology and so may be safer than the novel genetic vaccines.
The U.K.’s independent medicines regulator is the first in the world to approve the Valneva vaccine which becomes the sixth COVID-19 vaccine to be granted an MHRA authorisation.
It is also the first, whole-virus inactivated COVID-19 vaccine to gain MHRA regulatory approval. With this type of vaccine, the virus is grown in a lab and then made completely inactive so that it cannot infect cells or replicate in the body but can still trigger an immune response to the COVID-19 virus. This process is widely used already in the production of flu and polio vaccines.
June Raine said:
Our approval of the COVID-19 vaccine made by Valneva today follows a rigorous review of the safety, quality and effectiveness of this vaccine, and expert advice from the Government’s independent scientific advisory body, the Commission on Human Medicines.
Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed, Chair of the independent Commission on Human Medicines, said:
The independent Commission on Human Medicines and its COVID-19 Expert Working Group has carefully considered the available evidence are [sic] pleased to say that we have advised that the benefit risk balance is positive. The vaccine is approved for use in people aged 18 to 50 years, with the first and second doses to be taken at least 28 days apart.
Interesting choice of words: not “safe and effective” but “the benefit risk balance is positive”. For everyone? Against Omicron? The trial is still ongoing so it’s not possible to review the findings for ourselves, though some information is provided here. Almost all trial participants are under 50, hence the approval being limited to the younger age range.
The U.K. has not actually yet purchased any doses of Valneva and also the approval doesn’t include use as a ‘booster’ so it has little immediate practical effect. In time it means a more traditional vaccine is available for those who wish to avoid experimental gene-based products – and unlike Novavax, not just based on the spike protein.

Totally and completely unethical. I am ashamed to be a member of this profession.
So Valneva is approved only for 18 to 50 year olds, yet Pfizer states on it for 16 years and over, yet is allowed for children. Yet more evidence that Pfizer control the show. What an odious little oaf Javid is remember him stating Valneva broke their contract and would never get approval? It’s not a Johnson government it’s a Pfizer government. Treason.
These scientists are criminal and would not have felt out of place in the Third Reich.
I hope they receive the severest punishment available for their child abuse.
The minimal trials excluded those with previous infection- 85% of children have antibodies hence and parent who lets their child have a vaccine is experimenting on them. This bunch of experts need holding personally to account when the vaccination data is eventually exposed.
This just goes to show that those that comply have not bothered to do their own research. Is this all an intelligence test?
June Raine needs locking up she’s a menace.
Safe and effective.
I’m surprised they got away with that
Poor kids getting the ‘snake venom’
Sinister & Evil . Prison . Prison . Prison .
Orwellian language. “Safe and Effective” now means “Unsafe and Ineffective.”
And that’s before we get to the FACT that children do not need to be protected from Covid.
June Raine, everyone remember that name she is the person who has signed the death and injury warrant for possibly millions of children, for a virus that they are at no risk from.
One can only hope that she is given the appropriate sentence for a mass murderer when the trial happens
June Raine said ”I am pleased to confirm….” I bet she is. Shouldn’t we hear more about conflicts of interest and other questionable things?
Just a personal opinion but no way would I give an experimental gene therapy to my 6 yo – and that applies even more so to Moderna.
Regarding Valneva, I agree that potentially it could be a safer option but I still have several questions as follows:
Given the lack of any usage in a real clinical setting, the very limited amount of trial data submitted and the performance of the “Regulators” over the Covid episode, I think the burden of proof is on Valneva regarding safety and I still don’t think it wise to rush into taking either it or Novavax on the largely unsubstantiated promise of (even short-term) safety.
Of course, all of the above is academic only. The real question is why, for a “disease” with a survival rate of 99,7% (or 99.95% for those below age 70) ANY vaccine is required for other than those over age 70?
In terms of conventional medical ethics, the risks far exceed any beenefits, as is quite clear from the HSA data for infection, hospitalisation and death by the avrious vaccinted and unvaccinated groups (/100K). These Covid gene therapies have killed more people that all previous vaccines ever used combined.
And not even for those over 70, if they are fit and reasonably well. If this poison is somehow ”okay” for people over 70, or 80, then it will give carte blanche to those who want to be rid of the ”dead wood” as soon as possible.
The only sensible words Wittery spoke were in May of 2020, when he said that ”covid” was ”harmless to the VAST MAJORITY of people” and that included the elderly.

I think you mean attenuated
If you mean me, that’s exactly what I said – attenuated when I referred to the claimed Valneva “Live attenuated virus” vaccine. Later I also referred to something entirely different which was an earlier claim in published reports that Valneva had “accentuated” the spike content in the vaccine. Two entirely different issues..
So I’m not entirely sure what what you mean? Kindly elucidate.
This and will remain child abuse.
Child abuse. Why aren’t there prosecutions?
You will have noticed that Governments are keen to “move on because the “vaccines” have been so successful”. The real reason, of course, is that want to move on before more people start to understand the available data which shows that the “vaccines” have beena ccomplete failure and have only done harm. WIth that realisation could potentially come calls for accountability – so “better” to “move on”….
There are prosecutions – Boris & Rishi got fined £50 for breaking lockdown rules. What more do you expect?
‘Spikevax’ – what a charmingly named poison. What could possibly go wrong? Totally evil.
What I’m waiting for are vaccines developed against non-spike proteins. It would tell me that the biotech industry wanted to save lives not get paid billions for killing people.
I’m not holding my breath, you understand.
Repeat after me, they are not vaccines, they are prophylactics with a dubious record of both efficacy and safety. A bit like a Durex with a hole in it. (Other brands of condoms are available).
Valneva is a vaccine, at least by its mode of action. Whether it lives up to the original definition of a vaccine in terms of prevention from infection and transmission or not, still remains to be seen. As does its saftey profile.
The thing is, 55 million people are not listening to you.
June Raine an utterly useless, EVIL, corrupt piece of sh*t!!
But doubtless a wealthy one.
MHRA are dangerous idiots at best as are most other organisations related to government.
How can anyone trust anything June Raine says?
Jonestown on a global scale. Sick, sick, sick!
Well, here in Australia, we are ahead of the pack on vaxx mania (as we have been on so many things Covid) and our wise regulator (the TGA) had already given the tick of approval for “two primary doses” of the magic goo for kids aged 5 to 15 years (“including those who may have previously had COVID-19” – just so the now-naturally-immune don’t feel left out!).
But TGA approval for two original jabs is sooo last month! Adolescents aged 12-15 years are now on the conveyor belt for a Pfizer booster (to make sure they are well and truly Pfucked) even though “current data suggest that COVID-related serious illness is very rare in adolescents aged 12-15” (so why do it, then?).
The lucky young teens, however, have been given a stay of vaxx-execution by the expert advisory group, ATAGI, which stumbled over some remaining shred of scientific integrity and said, against the Australian government’s desire, that that is not on and the booster plan is now in limbo (except for the “severely immuno-compromised” who will get the full three-course menu of triple-jabbing with a goo which further harms what immune system they have).
ATAGI’s decision will not sit well with… Read more »
It was from your own Dr Thomas Barody that I heard of Ivermectin (in August 2020), and how his research showed that its use against ‘covid’ was very effective. The government didn’t reply to his communication at the time. I wonder how they subsequently silenced him? Or is he still trying to be heard?
Absolute Chunts !!… Mengele would be proud !!
Frightening News – so the evil continues.
June Raine….what can I say?
A monstrous reptile of a woman.
I really, really hope she doesn’t face a long, agonizing death…
Does she have children of her own? Will they be jabbed? Puh.
It’s cocktail time again. Have a Moderna Blood Curdler, or perhaps a Valneva Violation.
I’m not so sure Moderna’s marketing team aren’t actually trying to warn people against it – “Spikevax” ffs! It even sounds lethal.
Hang on… I thought people were saying it’s all over, the wheels of the bus were falling off, and the house of cards collapsing.
Everyone knew the 5-11 year olds were next in line to be ‘vaccinated against Covid’. And, guess what, Boris is still the Prime Minister. Well, obviously, we mustn’t get rid of him because we could get someone worse….
All we need now is another pointless on-line petition so we can do the virtue-signalling by telling everyone we’ve signed it and “done our bit”!
The Covid Show must go on! There’s oodles of money to be made still.
I went to a shopping centre here in Helsinki today…. you’d have loved it. 95% face masks. A world gone mad.
I see there’s a new kid on the block called the Zika virus which attacks pregnant women and their unborn baby.
What’s the betting these “platinum standard” fake vaccines will also provide immunity to this?
Zika has been around for ages.
It has, but it wasn’t previously weaponised until now.
BBC has been running scare stories about the chance of it becoming the ‘next big thing’ for the last week or so, and now, unsurprisingly, Sky News is scaremongering about it too.
We’re now in pure Satanic territory. On the eve of Good Friday, 2022, this is the rising of unparalleled evil. The children. What did Christ say, it would be better to hang a millstone around their neck and thrown into the sea. All of them will pay the price, be certain of that. The darkness is here, now. All around. They have all lost their minds. The demons are swarming. Pray, read your bible, and resist.
Over the last two years, crimes have been committed against the vast majority of humanity – on a breathtaking scale.
But what has been done to children is unspeakable. What are we if we don’t defend them? What are we if we allow people to use them as experimental creatures from which to profit?
However difficult it seems to bring those responsible to a reckoning, it has to be done.
Take a look at the Book of Job, chapter 34, verses 16-33. Let’s hope it comes to pass.
