准备招3000名12-17岁的青少年。 Pharmaceutical company Moderna announced Wednesday it will test its potential COVID-19 vaccine on children. The study will include 3,000 kids ages 12 to 17, with half receiving two shots of the vaccine four weeks apart, and the other half getting placebo shots of salt water, the New York Times reported. On Monday, Moderna announced it had applied for emergency use authorization with the Food and Drug Administration, and touted that its vaccine was 94 percent effective in adults during clinical trials.
