New Delhi: India is hit by another wave of corona vaccine everywhere these days. The third wave is also being said to have come. According to reports, it is being claimed that the next wave of corona may target children. Let me tell you all that there is no corona vaccine for children below 12 years of age in the world and that is why they are not being vaccinated. Not only that, no vaccine has been given the green signal for people below the age of 18 years in India.
Amidst all this, WHO Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan has now made a big statement. In his statement, he said, "The nasal vaccine of Korana can prove to be a gamechanger for children. This type of vaccine is given through the nose. It is more effective than the injectable vaccine and is easier to take. Talking to a famous website, Soumya Swaminathan said, "More and more school teachers need to get vaccinated. Children should be sent to school only when the risk of community transmission is low. The nasal vaccine made in India can prove to be a game changer for children. It will be easy to apply to children. It will also increase immunity in respiratory tracks".
Let us tell you all that last Saturday, the Central Government had said, "Children are not safe from infection, but at present the impact of the virus is decreasing on children. Now, if we look at the statistics of the world and the country, only 3-4 per cent of the children are admitted to the hospital. VK Paul, member of the same NITI Aayog (Health), said, "If children are affected by covid, there will either be no symptoms or at least symptoms. They generally do not need to be hospitalized. But we need to pay more attention to 10-12 year olds".
