as next wednesday, a week from today, parents understandably still have a lot of questions. some parents are concerned about the size of pfizer s vaccine trial. there were 2,268 participants ages 5 to 11. is that enough data to demonstrate safety? good evening, wolf. thanks for having me here. that is very good amount of data but also we have to remember in a broader context. there have been 15 million kids ages 12 to 17 who have also gotten the vaccine. and while that s a slightly different group, their experience matters a lot as well. so we know a lot about these vaccines. they are the most tested and most carefully examined vaccines in the history of humanity. i think the 2,000 on the 5 to 11-year-olds really adds a lot to that and gives me confidence as a dad of a 9-year-old that these vaccines are quite safe and very effective. many adults experienced the mild side effects after vaccination, including fever, body aches or sore arm.
