THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC has changed humankind in far-reaching ways— from the way we shop to the way we work to the way we unwind. Maybe even the way we approach disease prevention. For the adolescent population, if the response to India’s mass immunisation programme is anything to go by, getting a jab has become part of their ‘to do’ list.
