A doctors group is questioning the ethics of a partnership between Moderna and NHS centres around England in a clinical trial of a new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine for children and adults over 12.

Doctors from HART, an organisation that was set up to share concerns about policy relating to COVID-19, have expressed concerns about the trial as they believe COVID-19 vaccine boosters are unlikely benefit to children. Furthermore, they have also questioned payment incentives.
