Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine worked safely in children 6 months to 5 years, says the company, which plans to ask health regulators to clear the shot’s use in kids who haven’t been able to get vaccinated

Moderna Inc.’s Covid-19 vaccine safely induced robust immune responses in children ages 6 months to 5 years in a new study, the company said, though the shot had modest efficacy against the Omicron variant.

Moderna said Wednesday the vaccine’s efficacy against symptomatic infections was 43.7% in children ages 6 months to 2 years, and 37.5% in children ages 2 to 5.

You'll poison my children over my dead, cold and stiff body.

'Says the company'

It would be easy, cheap, safe & more effective to ship & deliver billions of Vaxart Covid19 💊 vaccines & boosters to every person! It’s worth investing in an actual scalable solution that could stop infection & transmission & end this pandemic.
