Pfizer and BioNTech announced, in a press release published on September 20, the positive results of their clinical trial conducted with 2,268 children between the ages of 5 and 11. Participants received two 10-microgram doses of the vaccine, 21 days apart. It is worth noting that the dose for children over 12 years of age is 30 micrograms.
The results indicate that their COVID-19 vaccine is safe, as it generates a robust and well-tolerated immune response. According to Pfizer and BioNTech, the immune response obtained is comparable to that observed in volunteers aged 16 to 25 who comprised the control group in this trial. The same is true for side effects, which were also comparable to those identified in the 16-to-25-year-old group.
