Hundreds of children to get Covid vaccine tests as doctors investigate how well the jab works in young people – Manchester Evening News
Up to 300 children are set to take part in the Oxford University trial
A trial into how a coronavirus vaccine works in children is set to take place.
Tests will investigate the efficacy of Oxford/AstraZeneca in young people aged from six to 17.
It will determine whether the jab will produce a strong immune response, with 300 volunteers set to take part.
The trial will start later this month.
Up to 240 children will receive the vaccine, while others will be given a control meningitis tab.
