Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine trial for children ages 5-11 starts at Austin Regional Clinic

AUSTIN, Texas — Children now make up more than 14% of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. since the pandemic began, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The Austin Regional Clinic is hosting Pfizer's new vaccine trial for children ages five through 11. While the study is two years long, if the trial sees success early on, we could likely see a new vaccine roll out even sooner.

there was no vaccine to be found there until last month.

It was shameful.

I had a hard time finding a place and got lucky finally,
but not because of ARC.

Maybe they are making up for it now.
