Covaxin Recommended By Expert Panel For Children From Two To 18 Years
NDTV
An expert panel on Tuesday recommended Covaxin - Bharat Biotech's COVID-19 vaccine for use on children between the ages of two and 18.
Final approval for the use of Covaxin on children will be given by the Drug Controller General of India.
When that approval does come, Covaxin will become only second vaccine cleared for use on kids; in August Zydus Cadilla's three-dose DNA jab was allowed to be used on adults and children over 12.
A third potential vaccine for kids is Serum Institute's Novavax, for which the DCGI last month cleared trials for children between seven and 11 years.
