COVID-19 Vaccines for Children and Teens
Although the majority of COVID-19
vaccinations are only licensed for people over the age of 18, a rising number
of vaccines are now also recommended for use in youngsters. Some nations have
granted mRNA vaccines for teenage usage emergency use authorization (aged 12-17
years).
The largest disease burden in terms of
severe disease and mortality continues to be among the elderly and those with
comorbidities, as evidenced by the WHO Prioritization Roadmap, which defines
high priority-use groups based on vaccination supply available to countries.
The World Health Organization recognizes that different nations are in
different pandemic phases, with varying vaccination coverage rates.
Getting vaccinated will help prevent illnesses and
restrict disease spread, keeping students and staff safe. It ensures the safety
of teachers and, most crucially, pupils as they prepare for the resumption of
face-to-face classes.
