AIIMS Director, Dr Randeep Guleria said that we are hoping that by October India will have its own vaccine for children. It has been found that kids usually have mild symptoms of coronavirus.
Guleria said that we are hopeful vaccine trial will be completed early and we will get the data by september. Hopefully, by that time, approvals will be there so that by September-October we’ll have vaccines from our country.
Bharat Biotech & other companies are doing trials at a very fast pace as parents have come forward with their children,while Pfizer has already got the FDA approval for children and that has also got permission to come to our country.
Gulleria said that Children usually have mild disease but we need to develop vaccines for children. Talking about Pfizer, the Director said, Pfizer is negotiating as far as the various clauses are concerned and they are very close to reaching an agreement with the government.
To concern about this matter now its high time to reopen the schools. For this coronavirus it has really affected the childrens life and knowledge and especially the marginalised ones who can’t go for online classes, they are suffering the most.
