Evaluation of mRNA-1273 Covid-19 Vaccine in Children 6 to 11 Years of Age

In part 1 of a phase 2–3 trial, a 50-μg dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine was safe and immunogenic. In part 2, nearly 4000 6-to-11-year-olds received two doses of vaccine or placebo and were followed for a median of 82 days. The vaccine had mainly mild adverse effects and was immunogenic in 99%, similar to...

Description
Summary:	In part 1 of a phase 2–3 trial, a 50-μg dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine was safe and immunogenic. In part 2, nearly 4000 6-to-11-year-olds received two doses of vaccine or placebo and were followed for a median of 82 days. The vaccine had mainly mild adverse effects and was immunogenic in 99%, similar to the results in 18-to-25-year-olds. Vaccine efficacy during a delta-variant period was 88%.
