In news- India will start administering Covid-19 vaccines to children in the age group of 15-18 years from 3rd January 2022.

About the vaccination program-

  • As per the Union Health Ministry,  Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin will be the only vaccine that will be administered to eligible recipients in the age group of 15-18 years.
  • This makes it the second Indian vaccine after ZyCoV-D, a DNA plasmid vaccine, to be approved for those above 12. 
  • ZyCoV-D, by Zydus Cadilla, is a three-dose combination whereas Covaxin by Bharat Biotech is a two-dose vaccine to be administered four weeks apart. 
  • The company also says that being an inactivated whole virion vaccine, the dosage for children is the same as those for adults.
  • Children born in 2007 and earlier shall be eligible to receive the vaccine under this program.
  • Beneficiaries can register online through an existing account on Co-WIN, or after creating a new account through a unique mobile number. 
  • Children can book a slot using their parents’ existing Co-WIN accounts.
  • All beneficiaries irrespective of their income status are entitled to get jabbed for free at government vaccination centres. 
  • However, those who visit private hospitals or vaccination centres have to pay the requisite fees.

About Covaxin (for adults)-

  • It is India’s indigenous COVID-19 vaccine developed by Bharat Biotech in collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) – National Institute of Virology (NIV).
  • The vaccine is developed using Whole-Virion Inactivated Vero Cell derived platform technology.
  • Inactivated vaccines do not replicate and are therefore unlikely to revert and cause pathological effects. 
  • They contain dead viruses, incapable of infecting people but still able to instruct the immune system to mount a defensive reaction against an infection.
  • Covaxin is included along with immune-potentiators, also known as vaccine adjuvants, which are added to the vaccine to increase and boost its immunogenicity.
  • It is a vaccine with no sub-zero storage, no reconstitution requirement, and ready to use liquid presentation in multi-dose vials, stable at 2-8 degrees.
