Pfizer and BioNTech said their COVID-19 vaccine was safe and effective and produced robust antibody responses in youths age 12 to 15, paving the way for them to seek U.S. emergency use authorization in weeks

Pfizer hopes that vaccinations of the group could begin before the next school year, Albert Bourla, Pfizer’s chairman and chief executive, said in a statement.

In the trial of 2,260 adolescents aged 12 to 15, there were 18 cases of COVID-19 in the group that got a placebo shot and none in the group that got the vaccine, resulting in 100% efficacy in preventing COVID-19, the companies said in a statement. The companies also studied a subset of teens to measure the level of virus-neutralizing antibodies a month after the second dose and found it was comparable to study participants aged 16 to 25 in the pivotal trial in adults.

We dont need emergency use in 12-15 year olds.

Hope they show us the study and not just the press release. Was this a purely in-house study?

Absolutely nothing to do with the stocks and shares falling?
