The reason for expanding would be to detect more rare adverse events. We may finally be moving towards requiring more of a traditional evidence-based approach for decision making.https://t.co/TAWmTwcFjm

SCOOP: At FDA's urging, Pfizer & Moderna are expanding Covid vaccine trials for kids ages 5-11 -- a precaution to help detect rare heart problems.

Unclear if this will delay authorization, which Biden said would come "soon."

Will you get your 5-11 year old vaccinated? https://t.co/6oknpqLSl6

They skipped the animal trials and went right to kids?https://t.co/IXYwy29a9b https://t.co/eMw1ZubbJG pic.twitter.com/iNDmWy10Ud

Strongly feel they need longer term safety data in children -- at least a year out.... $PFE $MRNA. To insure the benefit outweighs any risk. $NVAX MIA.https://t.co/mbcW5En52t
I have a 5 year old I will gladly sign up! Any one know of enrollment options in the Nashville area? https://t.co/z7d5h2U04O

.@AlexBerenson If the FDA thinks a group of 3,000 children (so assuming 1,500 in the vaccine group) is sufficiently large to detect any myocarditis issues, what does that say about what the FDA thinks myocarditis rates could be and/or are acceptable?https://t.co/PAA5qyVRXr pic.twitter.com/M9wJylQhaD

Oh my goodness, I know a 7- and 9-year-old who would love to sign up. Anyone know any studies near Rhode Island?

Vaccine trials for kids 5-11 expanded—possibly delayed. F.D.A. has asked the companies to include 3,000 children in the 5-to-11-year-old group, roughly double the original number of study participants. Unclear if EUA approval will be delayed or not. ?

Deep sigh ... obviously we want sufficient study participants for good statistics to support a safe vax for kids. But MAN, this likely delay in vaccine approval for kids <12 yrs is deeply disappointing to me!https://t.co/4nAmIWvTO7 https://t.co/Fhiel8zAdN pic.twitter.com/hNACMfsl2s
