The State is all set to begin the vaccination of children aged 12-14 years against COVID-19 this week, as soon as the Centre issues the directive, Health Minister Veena George said here .
The State estimates that there are about 15 lakh children in the said age group, even though this figure is likely to change as per the Centre’s population projections.
The Centre announced earlier in the day that children in the 12-14 year age group would be administered Biological E’s Corbevax, a protein subunit vaccine.
