Here's the 6th and last tip in the series Talking to your kids about the Coronavirus.
Should my child get the vaccine? At present, WHO-approved COVID-19 vaccines are not recommended for anyone under the age of 16-18 years (depending on the individual vaccine), even if they belong to a high-risk group. Children were not included in the initial trials for COVID-19 vaccines, so there is currently limited or no data on the safety or efficacy of vaccines for children below the age of 16.
We hope this series has helped you address your child's concerns during these trying times. Do keep an eye out for further tips from Unicef as the covid situation evolves.
