CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The MUSC Childrenâs Hospital will ramp up a COVID-19 vaccine trial on children 12 years and younger.
The first shots could be going into the arms of children by this summer as part of an expanding effort to test the vaccine in an effort hospital officials say is an important next step toward reaching herd immunity.
MUSC Childrenâs Hospital is one of 100 sites across the country starting a clinical trial to find out how children will respond to Modernaâs version of the COVID-19 vaccine.
