MySuru: Personnel of the Ministry of Health visited educational institutions to launch vaccination drives for students in the age group 15 to 18, according to the national plan.

“Many students are not sure about the importance of getting vaccinations, and there are also many fears in this matter,” he said.
Parents have decided to wait for some time, before receiving the phone.

I would rather wait for a few days, to find out whether vaccination actually helped or not,” said Subramaya K H, parents of class X students from the city.
Santosh Kumar, mysuru district representative from management related to elementary and secondary schools (KAMS), said that counseling was the key to convincing children to be investigated against Covid-19.
