Over two months after COVID vaccination was rolled out for children in the age group of 12-14 years, a mere 23% of the eligible 20.25 lakh children have been fully inoculated with both the doses. Besides, 3,02,954 children have not taken even a single dose of vaccination so far.
Vaccination for this age group began on March 15. Children born on or before March 15, 2010, are eligible for vaccination. Each beneficiary is to be inoculated with doses of CorBEvax, the authorised vaccine for this age group, in a gap of 28 days.
Although 85% (17,22,046) of eligible children in this age group have taken the first dose, only 4,66,786 of these have taken both the doses.
