The Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University, Numolux, and China’s Sinovac have partnered to conduct a paediatric vaccine study on the Covid-19 vaccines for children and adolescents, aged between six months and 17 years.

The vaccine study will see more than 2 000 children and teenagers take part in the study in South Africa, with seven clinical research sites across the country being utilised.

“Efficacy assessments to include the surveillance for Covid-19 like symptoms, and the laboratory confirmation of Sars-CoV-2 infection by RT-PCR. Any confirmed Covid-19 cases will be followed by the investigators until resolution,” said Numolux, the Pretoria-based SA partner to Sinovac. Numolux said the study was a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial, which would evaluate the efficacy of the vaccine on children and adolescents.

“Numolux has partnered with 7 clinical research sites across South Africa to enroll 2000 participants from 6 months to 17 years.” “In South Africa, the trial has received South African Health Products Regulatory Authority , Pharma Ethics, and SMUREC, approval and is listed on the South African Clinical Trial Registry,” said Numolux.

Do people think the vaccines ALL of them received as small children were not tested on children? This is stage 3 of the trial - testing on humans. How else do you test a vaccine for children?
