Moderna did not release the complete data, and the results were not published in a peer-reviewed journal. The announcement was made in the run-up to the Food and Drug Administration’s analysis of data on a similar trial of Pfizer vaccine for the same age group.
Clinical studies of more than 4,700 children in this age group have shown a “robust” immune response in terms of antibody levels and a “favorable safety profile,” Moderna said in a statement.
