“If possible, children will be administered the vaccine at separate centres. Or there will be separate queues for children at existing centres, where the vaccination drive is currently under way. The time gap between two doses will be 28 days,” he said.
Odisha will be inoculating over 25 lakh children in the age group of 15-18 years against COVID.
