COVOVAX vaccine for Indian children 12-17 years |
As Covid cases rise in India, children aged 12-17 years will now be able to get a dose of Covovax costing about Rs. 1000, in addition to a hospital service charge of ₹ 150. Currently, children aged 12 to 14 years are vaccinated with Biological E`s intramuscular vaccine Corbevax, while those in the 15-18 age group are being administered Bharat Biotech`s Covaxin at government vaccination centers. India today reported 2,568 new Covid Cases, 18.6% lower than yesterday. It is to be noted that the Supreme Court of India in its landmark judgment said that no one can be forced to take the vaccine. It also directed that the Union government must publish reports of the adverse effects of vaccination.
