Pharmaceutical company Pfizer has started its clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines on infants. The youngest among the participants is an eight-month-old baby from Baldwinsville, New York.
Last month, Science Times reported that a boy died due to COVID-19 when on vacation with his vaccinated parents to Hawaii, becoming the first pediatric death in the state due to the deadly infection.
Incidents like that are the motivation for vaccine providers to develop COVID-19 vaccines that are tailored to children and adolescents.
Pfizer seeks FDA approval for the vaccination of children ages two to 11. The pharmaceutical company also expects to have COVID-19 vaccines for babies between ages six months to two years.

Syracuse, N.Y. – An 8-month-old baby boy from Baldwinsville is the youngest person in the world to receive two doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
Vincenzo “Enzo” Mincolla got his second dose Wednesday at Upstate Medical University where he is participating in a clinical trial.
Upstate is just one of four sites in the U.S. , the only places in the world, testing the Pfizer vaccine in children under age 5. So far the federal government has only approved the vaccine for children as young as 12.
