In February, the drugmakers reported that the vaccine candidate was effective in adults after a three-dose series. Pfizer and Valneva also tested the vaccine in children ages 5-17, finding the vaccine was more immunogenic in adult trial participants, according to an April 26 news release.

The drugmakers will include pediatric participants in their phase 3 trial, which is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2022.
