Covid-19 vaccination of children will be taken once the results of the ongoing clinical trials are obtained, said the central government on Tuesday. "Clinical trials are underway for some of our vaccines, including Bharat Biotech's Covaxin and Zydus Cadila's another vaccine," said joint secretary in the health ministry, Lav Agarwal. "As soon as we get robust enough results of these trials, we will decide on vaccination for children, based on the expert decision," he added.
VK Paul, member (health) of Niti Aayog, said that the government is also encouraging Biological E, Novavax to conduct paediatrics study once they are found safe for adults.
