MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Pfizer’s COVID vaccine is expected to be available soon to children ages 12 to 15. Researchers are now currently testing the vaccine in kids as young as 6 months old to see if it’s safe and effective. Eloise Lacour is among the first children under five to receive both shots. The three-year-old is part of a study testing Pfizer’s vaccine on children six months to 12 years old. “Whatever we can do to protect her, even though chances are she’d be totally fine if she caught the virus, we don’t know what the long-term effects are,” said her mom, Dr. Angelica Lacour. Dr. Yvonne Maldonado leads the research at Stanford University School of Medicine.
