“We plan to go into children as soon as we possibly can, but very carefully in terms of safety,” J&J’s Dr. Jerry Sadoff told a virtual meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Depending on safety and other factors, the company plans to test in even younger children afterwards, Sadoff, a vaccine research scientist at J&J’s Janssen unit, said. J&J started testing the vaccine in adults in a 60,000-volunteer Phase III study in late September. It had to pause the trial earlier this month because of a serious medical event in one participant. The study resumed last week.
Rival drugmaker Pfizer Inc has already begun testing the COVID-19 vaccine it is developing with Germany’s BioNTech in children as young as 12.

Barron.
WTF. Why would you give a vaccine to an age group with 99.997% survival rate. Just give it to 65+ age group who are at risk. I’m beginning to think money is driving this fear campaign.
Johnson & Johnson being sued for Risperdal, pelvic mesh, talcum powder, and opiods. I would never let my child near you. No one trusts your brand anymore. Hopefully, no one signs their children up for experimentation.
Ages 12-18? Are you mad?
. . . just around the corner . . .
Because that’s the age group at greatest risk? 🧐
Interesting -- how does 'informed consent' work with minors? Obviously it has to some way, or we'd never have treatments for them.
We will pass, thank you They couldn’t make safe baby powder, they want to make a vaccine
Waiting for vaccine be like...
Just who is going to put those poor kids on the front line to take this?
Why not, since it didn't work and anyone else or was found to be dangerous
Awesome and Congrats to RampCapitalLLC Time to clear your schedule, sir!!
Probably a tactic to implant microchips Bill Gates is grinning right now
Why? That’s not the age in risk for this new corona.
What kind of horrible parent would allow their child to be used like this? I don't care what kind of $$ they're promising, it's unethical to force your child to be a human guinea pig. Especially under this utterly incompetent administration...no safeguards, no standards.
J&J? The same J&J that made and sold baby powder that gave countless women cancer? Didn’t they just agree to pay out millions to settle the claim they knowingly sold the dangerous cancer-causing powder? That J&J?
