Child inoculation could be key to victory over COVID, manufacturers say

Experts from vaccine production companies say recently that vaccination of children may be the key to victory over pandemic, while adding that they have begun their clinical test at younger people.

Although COVID-19 has shown a smaller extent of infection and mortality in younger people, there is evidence that children may be broadcasters.

Therefore, until all children have been injected, considerable resurface “ ”” remains a danger, said John Edmunds, a member of the government's group of doctors' advisers in Britain.

Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine researchers have started a study to see if their vaccine works on children from six to 17 years old.

If vaccines prove to have enough effect on transmission and if all adults are supposed to be vaccinated this year, then the only source of spread will remain children”, said Rin Song, researcher of the Oxford vaccine group.

However, researchers recalled that like many other vaccines, controlling the disease can be accomplished without any one being immune. And so for the Corona virus, if we were to immunize each person, it would be something rare, but not the rule to implement”, they say.

I think it's still open to where we should go with the vaccine to get things under control. We believe that by the end of the year we will have started using vaccines for children under 18 years of age, but this is not certain, even though it is expected to happen”, British vaccine researchers” said, the Guardian writes. /Tch
