Drug company Pfizer is pushing a COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old into Phase 2/3 clinical trials.
ABC News reports that based on successful Phase 1 trials, the jab for kids in that age range will contain 10 micrograms of vaccine each, which is one-third the potency the dose given to those 12 and over. Children 5 and under will receive 3 microgram shots.
