With the analysis of 140 children aged 5 to 11 years who received the third stage, the trial in phase 2/3 verified the safety and protection of the immunizer.

“Serum antibodies induced by a third dose neutralize the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in this age group”, informed the pharmacist. As a result of the test, the effectiveness of the additional dose is 36 times more effective against Omicron in children compared to the second application.

With more than 10 thousand participants under the age of 12, the study identified no new side effects. Overall, the immunizer was well tolerated. with the data, Pfizer will ship to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) a request for authorization of the emergency use of the third dose in the infant group.
