The University of Oxford and AstraZeneca Plc have begun recruiting more than 10,000 subjects for advanced human studies of one of the world’s fastest-moving experimental Covid-19 vaccines. The age range of testing will be expanded to children from 5 to 12 years old and adults 56 and older. The other, larger stage will test the vaccine’s effectiveness in volunteers 18 and older. Adult subjects will be randomly chosen.
