Vaccine is no child’s play!
In the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, those aged under 21 have received limited focus. This is primarily because the virus affects older people much more.
Oxford and AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Novovax, and Covaxin have announced plans and clinical trials for vaccines catering to children aged 12 and above. Pfizer and Moderna have already begun their trials.
To build herd immunity in the community and bring this population back to school, vaccination becomes necessary. For a pandemic to end about 70-90% of the population will need to be vaccinated. Governments are likely to face challenges including those who do not want to get vaccinated.
India has a largely young population so the fight against the virus will depend heavily upon how quickly they are vaccinated. Besides, the longer the pandemic rages on, the worse the effects on education which is currently online.

The country, which has lifted a lot of its restrictions, including reopening schools and shops, has had 31,967 positive tests for Covid-19 so far, while 1,686 people have died during the epidemic.
Moderna's vaccine is among the most advanced globally, having already progressed to mid-stage clinical testing.
A coronavirus vaccine could become ineffective if the virus were to undergo certain genetic changes.
But so far, scientists see no evidence that's happening.
