COVID-19 Vaccination The National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration Dr NK Arora has said that vaccination of children in the age group of 12 to 18 years will begin from September with the Zydus vaccine.
In an interview with the English news channel, Dr Arora said that the Zydus COVID-19 vaccine will be granted emergency use authorisation (EUA) within weeks, which will be followed with Covaxin.
“Covaxin phase 3 trials have started and by the end of September, I think we should be there (begin vaccination). I think sometime in the third quarter or by early January-February we should be able to give it to 2 to 18-year-olds,” he told NDTV.
