New Delhi: COVID vaccination for children is a matter of days with the government likely to launch jabs for the under-18 age group in August.
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said this in a meeting attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP MPs on Tuesday.
According to experts, vaccination for children will be a giant step in breaking the chain of transmission and also reopening of schools in the country amid warnings of a possible third wave of the pandemic.
