9-year-old on Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine trial: ‘Nothing to be afraid of’
Fox News
Over 13,000 children across the country have enrolled in the trial for Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, including 9-year-old Althea Madden from Kentucky.
Althea's father, Dr. Jared Madden, an osteopathic specialist out of Manchester, and mother Kerri, made the decision to vaccinate their youngest daughter through the trial in an effort to protect her, to help with the research effort, and to encourage others that the vaccine is safe.
Other families "may not know virology, they may not know immunology but they know Dr. Madden’s kid had it," Jared said of the vaccine. "[I don’t] have anything to gain, and if [my] daughter can do it, so can [another] child."
