The University of Oxford has launched a study to assess the safety and immune response of the COVID-19 vaccine it has developed with AstraZeneca in children for the first time.

The efficacy of the AstraZeneca vaccine in children is set to be tested in a new clinical trial.

It is one of three to have been approved for use in adults in the UK, along with those from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. Earlier this week, England's deputy chief medical officer said that"several" trials were under way to develop vaccines that are safe and effective in children. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has said there was evidence the virus could cause death and severe illness in children but it was rare.

Jesus Christ !!!! What sane person would consent for their or any child to be part of a trial for this poison !!! ABSOLUTE MADNESS !!!!!!

Most people will probably be shocked to learn thst such trials haven't been done already. It's rolling out, but a massive absence of clinical trials for key demographics. It was rushed. I'm happy to wait a long time before getting a jab. Wait and see how the toll out goes

Why have a vaccine for children when there’s no evidence what so ever that children are affected by this man made flu virus
