More than two dozen Erie-area children will be among the first 2- to 11-year-olds in the United States to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
A clinical trial for the vaccine will begin Tuesday at Allegheny Health Network's Health + Wellness Pavilion — West Side's pediatric office, 4247 W. Ridge Road. At least 40 local children will participate in the nationwide trial, though one-third of them will receive a placebo.
"We already have a waiting list of more than 40 patients whose families have signed them up," said Anne Zomcik, M.D., a Saint Vincent pediatrician at the office.
At least 4,000 children will participate in the trial at 100 sites nationwide.
