Vaccination for 12-14 year olds likely from March, says Covid panel chief

India will likely begin inoculating children in the 12-14 age groups against Covid from March as the 15-18 population will mostly be fully vaccinated by then, Dr NK Arora, Chairman of the Covid-19 working group NTAGI, said on Monday.

Of the estimated 7.4 crore children in the 15-18 age bracket, over 3.45 crore have already received the first dose of Covaxin so far and their second dose is due in 28 days, he said.
