The National Health Institute in Washington is beginning a pediatric clinical trial to test the new vaccine for the H1N1 virus. The trial is being conducted at 11 medical institutions across the United States, and each child participating in the study will be monitored to ensure there are no severe reactions to the vaccine. More children between the ages of 6 and 35 months are still needed for the trial. Parents are warned about the possible side affects of the inoculation, and make the final decision regarding whether to have their children participate in the study. (CNN)
