Modern Medical Director Dr. Tal Zacks was interviewed tonight (Thursday) by News 12 and said that the company estimates that the vaccine for children will be approved in the spring or summer months: "We vaccinated separately for children and in the coming weeks we will see the results It is to vaccinate them as soon as possible, especially for the beginning of the next school year. "
He said, "We are starting to see the good data in the US and there is less morbidity among those who are vaccinated.
If we look at it in general, it seems that the vaccine not only prevents asymptomatic disease, but also reduces disease, I think we can conclude indirectly that vaccines prevent infection.
