Niranjan Mishra, Director, Public Health, said vaccination of parents is a strong factor that has worked in minimizing infection among children.
“Even if we have some breakthrough infections (after vaccination) appearing forward, it’s marginal.
We shouldn’t think that just because a small number of people who are vaccinated against viruses, parents are not protected.
Parents protected and infection of low children is Evidence.
Second, people also don’t explain their children a lot, “explained Mishra.
Experts say children tend to be infected more because the sidewalk has been lifted.
“Family members who work, who come out and go home carry viruses with them.
Children are infected in the process.
This is a concern but so far we have not seen it worrying.
The number of children who need hospitalization is also lacking,” said Dr.
