Covid-19 vaccination drive: 12-14-year-olds to get Corbevax shots

India’s vaccine think-tank the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) meeting to discuss vaccination protocol for 5-12 year old kids remained inconclusive on Wednesday, according to sources.
The NTAGI members reviewed data from vaccine makers for 5-12 year old kids, but no decision on whether to expand the program to this younger group was taken.
Last month the regulator had approved two vaccines--Serum Institute's Covovax and Biological E-made Corbevax--for use in 5-12-year-old children.
However the NTAGI decides on whether these would be used in India's Covid-19 vaccination programme.
