COVID-19 Vaccine Studies for Kids and Teens

Although children generally show milder symptoms of COVID-19, they are not immune to the virus. Children and teens with underlying conditions, such as asthma, may be at risk of developing severe symptoms when exposed to the virus. Meridian is now enrolling children and teens for COVID-19 vaccine studies.

Eligible participants…

• Must be a child age 12 to 17 (studies for kids age 6 to 11 upcoming)
• Must not have a history of autoimmune disease or an active autoimmune disease
• Do not need insurance to join a study
• May receive an investigational COVID-19 vaccine or non-active placebo as part of a study
• Will receive compensation for study-related time and travel
