No, the kids in this study were not specifically recruited from high-risk groups.

There are trials for all sorts of drugs for all ages. Generally they’ll “walk down” the age spectrum, ie start with adults, then teens, then younger kids. Pfizer is running a vaccine study for <6-month olds, too. Covid is less of a risk for little kids, but it’s not zero risk, and I’d rather my kids not be immunologically naïve when they encounter it.

Very young kids won't be totally naive since some of their immune system comes from their mothers. (although the mom might need active antibodies for that)

My children were born and weaned before covid came along, so this does not apply to them.
