Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter on Tuesday to lash out at the central government on the country’s preparedness in tackling Covid-19 in children through vaccination and paediatric services. Paediatric services and vaccine-treatment protocol should already be in place,” Gandhi tweeted. Gandhi’s words come as countries all over the globe are taking steps to approve Covid-19 vaccination in children. The US approved the Pfizer-BioNtech shot in adolescents and rolled out vaccination for those aged 12-15 on May 14. Before the US, Canada had on May 5 approved the Pfizer-BioNTech shot in those between the ages of 12-15.
