Media reports said the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI) is learnt to have given its recommendation for vaccinating children in the 12-15 years age group.

Experts said that children aged 12 to 17 are quite like adults.

The countrywide vaccination drive was rolled out on January 16 last year with healthcare workers (HCWs) getting inoculated in the first phase. The vaccination of frontline workers (FLWs) started on February 2 last year.
