Pfizer To Begin Covid-19 Vaccine Trial In Children

Pfizer has plans to start testing its experimental coronavirus vaccine in children as young as 12 years old.

According to CNN, parents have already expressed interest in enrolling their kids in the drug trials.

It will be the first coronavirus vaccine trial to include children in the United States.

A team at Cincinnati Children's Hospital will begin vaccinating teenagers aged 16 and 17 this week.

The trial will then expand to enroll 12-to 15-year-olds in the coming weeks and months.
