Moderna and Pfizer recently announced that they will begin vaccination trials with children in the U.S. and Canada. This has sparked outrage among various well-known anti-vaccination groups, which claim that the COVID-19 vaccines are experimental and that pediatric trials are inherently unsafe. One popular tweet claimed unaccompanied minor migrants would be included in vaccine trials. Upcoming pediatric trials will continue to follow rigorous safety measures, and will be watched closely by regulatory bodies. Any children enrolled in these trials will require parental consent and participation to participate.
