'New Covid variant emerging', experts advise caution

Categories: Covid 19

                       “We are hearing of a new variant, a mixture of Delta and Omicron. The decision to vaccinate 12 to 14-year-old children is significant because Covid cases are again rising in China. There is no room for laxity. It is too soon to say the pandemic is over,” NK Arora, Chairman, National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation, which guides the government on vaccination strategies, said today.

                         He further said that even the WHO had advised nations to inoculate children if the majority of adults had been covered and ample vaccines were available.“Moreover, the likelihood of death among children suffering from comorbidities is seven times more as compared with adults,” Arora noted.
