Now after the approval of Corbevax, the work of vaccinating children above 12 years will also start. By the way, the cases of corona in the country are continuously decreasing. But to protect our children from any new virus in the future, it is necessary to vaccinate everyone. The World Health Organization has also warned that the corona virus is not going anywhere, but will continue to appear in different forms. In such a situation, vaccination of all is the best way to avoid this disease.
