Should Children Get Covid-19 Vaccines? This is what the CDC explains!

JAKARTA – Covid-19 Vaccine has become a hot topic of conversation lately. A number of vaccines have recommended emergency use in the United States and other countries.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) is conducting an assessment of one of the vaccines, namely the one made by Pfizer. From the results of the assessment, WHO will give the green light for vaccines that have completed a series of clinical trials. Even so, the corona child vaccine is still a puzzle.

Doctor Jose Romero of the Control and Center’s Immunization Practices Advisory Committee United States Disease Prevention (CDC) expressed hope of seeing a child coronavirus trial in the second quarter of 2021.

If the vaccine proves to be safe and effective, children 18 years and under can receive vaccine shots in mid to late 2021.

Can Corona Vaccine Be Used For Children?

Quoted from the Primaya Evasari Hospital page, There are several candidates for the corona vaccine, but not one single child vaccine candidate is ready, including for emergency use. In general, vaccine trials are for adults who are older. After the trial is declared successful and safe, then adults get the vaccine.

Often vaccine manufacturers develop adult vaccines while researching pediatric vaccines. To be sure, pediatric vaccines cannot be distributed until they have actually undergone a series of clinical trials and are proven to be safe and effective.
