New Delhi: The coverage of the first dose of Covid jab among youngsters crossed five crore in around five weeks from its commencement on January 3, indicating that more than 67.5% adolescents of 15-17 years age have initiated immunisation against the virus.
The feat assumes significance as most states are resuming offline classes in schools and other educational institutions, while adolescents of 15-17 years age are most vulnerable to risk of severe disease and death due to the infection in the absence of vaccination.
Assessment of data from the last two years shows 75% of deaths in all children – less than 18 years – due to Covid-19 are among 15-18 years. Besides, 10-15% of children between 15-18 years have comorbidities, which also puts them at greater risk, official experts say.
