The long-awaited vaccine for children and adolescents

The vaccine "has demonstrated 100% efficacy and sustained antibody production.

In its new report, Pfizer announced that its COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective for teens and children ages 12 and up.

Currently, most vaccines introduced worldwide (and in Canada) are only for adults because of the higher risk of COVID-19.

On March 31, Pfizer shared details of its study, which involved 2,260 US volunteers aged 12 to 15.

Preliminary data from the company showed that there were no cases of COVID-19 among fully vaccinated children and adolescents, compared with 18 cases among those who were not genuinely vaccinated.
