Some 300 Children are taking part in the entire study to find out if the vaccine is safe and effective young people.

Currently it's only authorized for those over 18 from Oxford.

Our medical editor, Fergus Walsh, sent this report.

This is a half term with a difference on unusual break from home schooling on Tilda.

We know that after people have the vaccination and sometimes they could get some red Tilda is 16 on didn't hesitate about signing up for the vaccine trial.

Well, we live relatively nearby.

So when I saw that it was going on here, I thought, you know, if I could do my bit to help, then why not?

No problem with needles or no, I'm all right with needles.

Yeah, I don't really mind.

The study will test how Children and teenagers respond to a vaccine currently being used to protect people there.

Grand parents age.

They'll get two doses of the Oxford Jab or a meningitis vaccine as a control for comparison around, you think All right.

Like the other volunteers, Ella, whose 14 wants to do her bit thio further the research and hopefully help and make sure that as kids can be safe on, get the vaccine roll down.

It made for some very proud parents.

I think she's amazing.

Immunizing them might help reduce the spread of coronavirus.

Well, it may be rather similar to the flu situation, where with the influenza program we vaccinate Children both protect them, but also because that reduces transmission in the wider population to ensure that all of us are protected against the virus.

ALS three co vid vaccines approved in the U.

K are being tested in Children.

Pfizer and Madonna are doing their studies in the US If the trials go well, it's highly likely that ALS school aged Children will eventually be offered co vid jabs Trials in even younger Children below school age could follow, but a some way off.

The results of this study should be known by the summer, by which time all these volunteers parents on older relatives should themselves have.

Bean offered a co vid jab.
