Johnson and Johnson's
chairman and CEO says COVID-19 doses specifically for children may be in New
Jersey by September, just in time for the new school year.
He says trials are currently
in the works.
"I think it's likely to occur right in that timeline,” Alex
Gorsky. “The good news is
that the FDA is already working with companies to establish the clear
regulatory guidelines, so that the appropriate data can be collected."
Pfizer and Moderna are also doing trials for a children’s version of the
COVID-19 vaccination.
