Meet the Kids Taking Part in the COVID-19 Vaccine Trial for Children
@COVID19Up: A group of volunteers aged as young as 12 have become the first children to have the Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine as part of a UK trial.
The young volunteers received a dose of the vaccine last week as part of a national trial to test its immune response in those aged under 18.
In total it will be given to 260 children in the next few weeks, with the hope the jab will produce a strong immune response to the virus.
Some of the children had to persuade their parents to let them take part in the trial. SOURCE | TIP
