Amid the ongoing war against the Corona epidemic, a great hope has been raised towards protecting children from infection. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in a major decision, has approved the emergency use of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID Vaccine for adolescents. This vaccine will be given to those aged 12–15 years. Vaccination of children between 12 and 15 years of age can begin in the US this week. FDA acting commissioner Janet Woodcock called the move an important step in the fight against the Corona epidemic.

Another US company NovaVax has a COVID-19 vaccine in its final stages and has also started a study on 12- to 17-year-olds.
