Safety of Simultaneous mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine With Other Childhood Vaccines in Young Children
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the safety of COVID-19 vaccination and other routine childhood vaccines given simultaneously at Visit 1, as compared to sequential vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines at separate visits (Visits 1 and 2).
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
|
Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
Parent(s) or legal authorized representative(s) (LAR) will assess fever and other solicited systemic adverse events on the day of vaccination (Day 1) and the next 6 days (through Day 7) following Visit 1 and Visit 2 using either a web-based data collection system or a paper memory aid. Serious adverse events and adverse events of special interest will be captured during the entire study period. Parental/LAR perceptions about their child's vaccine schedule will be assessed on Day 7 following Visit 2.
