December 17, 2021 —As CBC Manitoba reports:A group of roughly 20 Manitoba kids under the age of six have joined the fight against COVID-19. They’re part of a clinical trial looking at the safety and efficacy of Moderna’s pediatric COVID-19 vaccine. “I’m ecstatic that we have this trial here in Manitoba,” said Dr. Sergio Fanella, an associate professor of pediatric infectious disease at the University of Manitoba and the principal investigator for the study in Winnipeg. Families of kids in the study should be proud of the young participants, he said. Moderna’s pediatric vaccine hasn’t yet been approved, and no vaccine has been approved for anyone under the age of five.
