Moderna has begun testing its COVID-19 vaccine on young children, the company announced Tuesday. The study, called KidCOVE, is testing Moderna’s vaccine candidate in children ages 6 months to less than 12 years old.
“It is humbling to know that 53 million doses have been administered to people in the U.S.,” Stéphane Bancel, chief executive officer of Moderna, said in a statement. “We are encouraged by the primary analysis of the Phase 3 COVE study of mRNA-1273 in adults ages 18 and above and this pediatric study will help us assess the potential safety and immunogenicity of our COVID-19 vaccine candidate in this important younger age population.”
My Take: Reexamine college and who it serves
By Douglas Neckers
Even after half a century in higher education, most of it at Bowling Green State University, I was staggered by the death of a student this month after a reported fraternity initiation hazing incident.
Supposedly, 20-year-old Stone Foltz was made to consume a vast amount of alcohol at an off-campus event enough to kill him.
Why? There really are no answers, from the incident itself, to the panic and grief, through the guilt that remains. The guilt of the students who caused it to happen, the university that didn’t believe something like that could happen, and the posturing politicians trying to gain favor from reintroducing anti-hazing bills they’ve refused to pass for years.
