What's this?

Tough one

Normally, clinical trials including pediatric patients/volunteers are conducted prior to market approval for children. Same for elderly populations. Not sure how that aspect will play out for an accelerated Covid vaccine approval process. Might be available for something like 18 - 65 yo to start.

Alot of people (adults) already will not take it so forcing it on -- fordham 05/18/2020 1:57PM

I agree with your approach. Statistically speaking from what we have seen -- vt90 05/18/2020 1:57PM

Your thinking is backwards -- VTSnake 05/18/2020 2:19PM

Agry. The flu shot protects the elderly by stopping the flu from spreading -- Hokie360 05/18/2020 2:27PM

Then it is failing miserably, the flu gets many elderly every year. -- fordham 05/18/2020 2:29PM

Is the flu shot a net benefit to transmission in society? Yes or no? -- BG Hokie 05/18/2020 4:03PM

And it would be many more if we didn't have a flu shot ** -- VTSnake 05/18/2020 2:39PM

That is because not enough people get the flu shot to completely herd -- Hokie360 05/18/2020 2:33PM

The point is the strategy VTSnake describes covers your scenario. ** -- Gobbler-100 05/18/2020 2:31PM

Actually you'd use the early vaccine availability on those people most -- Hokie360 05/18/2020 2:30PM
