‘Paediatric services and vaccine-treatment protocol should already be in place,’ says the former Congress president in a tweet.
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday cautioned the Narendra Modi government to prepare a COVID-19 protocol for children as they needed to be protected now. “In the time to come, children will need protection from Corona. Paediatric services and vaccine-treatment protocol should already be in place. India’s future needs for the present Modi ‘system’ to be shaken out of sleep,” Mr. Gandhi said on twitter. Even though the overall COVID-19 cases have stabilised, with the number of cases coming down in the past few days, experts are warning of a new third wave that can affect children.More Related News
