The EU's medicines agency (EMA) has approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for 12-15 year olds - the first jab allowed for this age group in the bloc.
Individual member states must now decide if they will offer the jab to children. German leaders gave the green light on Thursday.
The US and Canada approved the Pfizer jab for adolescents earlier this month.
Friday's announcement came as the World Health Organization (WHO) said Europe needed to speed up its vaccine rollout. (BBC News)
