3 reasons for making Covid-19 vaccination mandatory for children
India Today
Vaccination is essential not only for adults, but also for children, as unvaccinated children are more likely to develop a new, more powerful Covid-19 strain.
On May 5, Health Canada approved a Covid-19 vaccine for use in children aged 12-15 years. The United States Food and Drug Administration quickly followed suit, and other countries are likely to do the same. Similar approvals for younger children are on the horizon. This is very welcome news. It will not be possible to achieve full protection against Covid-19 at the population level unless most adolescents and children are vaccinated. However, factors such as vaccine hesitancy and mistaken beliefs about the risks Covid-19 poses to children may make this a challenging goal.More Related News
