The rising cases of Covid-19 among children have added fuel to the fear of more children getting infected in the next wave. The Directorate of Medical Education & Training (DMET) Chief, CBK Mohanty on Monday (Aug 16) informed that children can be protected through vaccination of adults around them.
Mohanty stated that even though the chances of severity and fatality among children are comparatively lower, they can be safeguarded by protecting adults around them. Mohanty emphasized that since children are at risk of getting infected by the virus from adults, the same can be prevented by vaccinating teachers and parents and following Covid appropriate behavior.
