Toddlers to be administered with Covid vaccine

Date:

Children below age 05 may be administered with the vaccine against Covid-19 in keeping with the global standards, revealed Paediatrician Dr. B.J.C. Perera, speaking to a briefing held in Colombo today (07).

Revealing that research is being conducted on the possibility of vaccinating children under age 05 and above 06 months, Dr. Perera pointed out that the age limit for vaccination, therefore, may change in the future.

Children infected with Covid should be vaccinated, despite any absence of symptoms, in the event that the virus can spread through them too, he noted.

The Paediatrician urged the public to collect their booster dose as soon as possible without being misled by the various misconceptions about the vaccine.
