NCT ID NCT06703190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to measure how well the 2024-2025 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine prevents symptomatic infection in people visiting CVS MinuteClinics. Researchers planned to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated patients across age groups and variant periods. However, the study was terminated after enrolling only one person, so no reliable conclusions can be drawn.
