CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts – Moderna says its COVID-19 vaccine strongly protects kids as young as 12.
The company released the preliminary findings Tuesday based on testing on more than 3,700 youths ages 12 to 17 in the United States.
There were no COVID-19 diagnoses in those given two doses of the Moderna vaccine compared with four cases among kids given dummy shots. In a press release, the company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, says the vaccine appeared 93% effective two weeks after the first dose.
