PETALING JAYA: Countries are looking at strategies to curb Covid-19 infections among children, with some even approving vaccines for adolescents. In Brazil, deaths among children under the age of 10 were reportedly over 2, 000, according to data as of mid-April. Now, as vaccination rates gain traction across the world, children and adolescents are slowly being included for such vaccination. Prof Dr Moy Foong Ming, of Universiti Malaya’s Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, also pointed out children may risk infecting others. “If there is supply, children above 12 years old should be vaccinated like in the US, UK and Singapore, ” she said.
