NEW DELHI: India will supply millions of additional Covid-19 vaccine doses to their countries to try to record all school teachers at the beginning of next month, the Minister of Health said on Wednesday, because the country gradually continued the physical class.
This pandemic has reached a 1.35 billion countries specifically and hundreds of millions of students have been trapped at home for months, with little or without access to online education for the majority of the poor.
India last week approved its first Covid-19 vaccine for larger children and tried to immediately mimunize all of nearly 10 million school teachers.
This country has vaccinated adults since mid-January.
“We have asked all countries to try to vaccinate all school teachers based on priority before Teacher’s Day, which is celebrated on September 5,” said Minister of Health Mansukh Mandaviya on Twitter.
He said the state would be given more than 20 million additional doses for this purpose.
Some states have tried to reopen school since the pandemic began last year, but some had to close it when infections were detected on campuses.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi State Gujarat said he would continue the physical class for secondary school students from September 2, at half a capacity, for the first time in more than 18 months.
The school was reopened for children who were greater almost a month ago.
A parliamentary report said this month the pandemic disrupted the education of nearly 320 million Indian students in various schools, colleges and universities.
It is recommended “vaccine programs that feature all students, teachers, and allied staff so that the school can start functioning normally at the start”.
India has provided 596 million vaccine doses, giving at least one dose to almost half of 944 million adults and two doses needed to 14%.
It has reported 32.5 million infections, the most in the world after the United States, and 435,758 deaths.
