PATNA: The process of registration for the clinical trial of Covaxin on children between the ages of 2 and 6 years will begin at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences-Patna (AIIMS-P) on Wednesday.
Kids in this age group will tentatively be given vaccine shots by the end of this week after being screened properly.
AIIMS-P superintendent, Dr C M Singh, told TOI on Tuesday that the vaccine trial on children in the age group of 6 to 12 years ended on Monday.
“The trial, which started on May 28, has been divided into three stages — 12 to 18 years, 6 to 12 years and 2 to 6 years,” he added.
Dr Singh further said, “Altogether 28 children in the 12-18 age group have been vaccinated at our hospital so far and another 21 in the 6-12 age group.
None of them complained of health complications.” Asked about the people who were sending their children for the trial, Dr Singh replied, “It is a mixed group that has kids of doctors as well as common people.” The interested parents can get the registration done on 9471408832.
