Pfizer vaccine will be given at a reduced dose, equal to one third of the authorized dosage for adults and adolescents, and in a specific formulation. The two doses should be administered 21 days apart and, in severely immunosuppressed children, the course can be completed with an additional dose at least 28 days after the second injection.
