The National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization in India i.e. NTAGI will also prepare a comprehensive plan for giving additional doses of COVID-19 vaccine to adults. People related to this matter gave this information.
Vaccination for children with comorbidities is likely to begin in January, the sources said, asking not to be identified. By March, all other children are likely to be eligible for vaccination, he said.
The topic of additional doses for adults is important as some countries have also called for concrete protection against the highly contagious coronavirus with a booster dose.
Children are now seen as a priority group for vaccination. The main reason for this is that on-site classes have started in many states depending on the pandemic situation in schools. After a devastating second wave that claimed millions of lives in India, concerns about children remain. Adults have already been vaccinated with at least one dose. Millions of people have taken a second dose as well.
The need for booster doses is raging among policymakers and scientists around the world. The US is set to become the first country to widen COVID-19 booster eligibility beyond comorbidities, the elderly, and other high-risk groups.
Many scientists tracking the data believe it is the right time to take action. However, some have expressed doubts.
Boosters have been a controversial issue for medical experts. An independent panel advising the US Food and Drug Administration, or USFDA, initially voted in September against making boosters available to all. This time US media has reported that the USFDA is ready to increase the eligibility of booster doses without calling outside experts.
