TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Giving injections vaccine Covid-19 for the age group of children and adolescents, ranging in age from 12 to 17 years, also provides protection for the body. The goal is to avoid transmission of the virus or possible severe symptoms due to infection with the Covid-19 virus or SARS Cov-2.
Vaksin bekerja dengan merangsang pembentukan kekebalan terhadap penyakit. Tubuh akan mengingat virus pembawa penyakit, kemudian mengenali dan melawannya.
Program vaksinasi Covid-19 bertujuan membentuk kekebalan kelompok atau herd immunity. Vaksinasi tak hanya diperuntukkan bagi orang dewasa, namun juga golongan usia anak dan remaja. Hanya saja, bukan merupakan prioritas utama untuk divaksinasi pada awal gelombang vaksinasi.
Akun Instagram DKI Jakarta mengulas lengkap informasi menyangkut vaksinasi untuk anak dan remaja. Pada unggahan tertanggal 16 Agustus 2021 itu, kita dapat mengetahui informasi seputar vaksinasi bagi rentang usia anak hingga remaja.
Vaccination in children is declared safe. Because it’s been clinically proven. Before being declared suitable for use, the vaccine has passed several clinical trials and has obtained a permit from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency or BPOM.
Children and adolescents who want to take vaccinations must meet several requirements, including:

Vaccinations usually carry several side effects, ranging from mild to moderate. Likewise with vaccinations in children and adolescents. Some of the symptoms that will appear after vaccination such as muscle pain, headache, fever, chills, and nausea.
