Full schedule of CoronaVac vaccine shown to be highly effective in children

A recent study on vaccine effectiveness showed that a complete primary immunization with CoronaVac effectively protects against severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for children and adolescents between 6 and 16 years of age – consistent with the results from phase 2 clinical trials. The paper is currently available on the Preprints with The Lancet* server while it undergoes peer review.
