it has gathered enough data in support of its Covid-19 vaccine for the youngest children. But it may not be enough for regulators to greenlight the shot for kids.

That the vaccine offers some protection against mild and moderate disease indicates that it will likely have higher protection against severe disease, he added. No kids in the trial needed to be hospitalized.
