Vaccine for children
CoWIN chief Dr RS Sharma had earlier told CNN-News18 that children will have an option to choose between Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin and Zydus Cadila’s jab.
However, Covaxin is the only option available for now.
Zydus Cadila’s anti-Covid vaccine ZyCoV-D is yet to be introduced in the country’s inoculation programme even for adults, though it received the Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) from the drug regulator on August 20, making it the first vaccine to be administered in the age group of 12-18 years in the country.
The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) granted the EUA to indigenously-developed Covaxin for children above 12 years with certain conditions on Friday.
