No symptoms of covid were found in children vaccinated in this test. The children who took part in the test began to experience the same side effects as adults after being vaccinated. Symptoms include chills, fatigue, and fever. The nature of the volunteers participating in this test will be monitored for at least two years. So that the safety of the vaccine can be studied.
In addition to Pfizer, Modern has also developed vaccines for minors. The vaccine developed by Modern for the age group of 12 to 17 is being tested. The results of the test are expected to be released in the coming months.
