During an interview with a channel, Dr Guleria said that Pfizer and Zydus vaccines should be soon available for children. In view of a probable third wave of the coronavirus pandemic, vaccination trials on children have been underway in the country. The second dose of the COVID-19 vaccines has already been given to children aged between 6 to 12 years at the Delhi AIIMS. Covaxin is being used on adults in India's ongoing COVID-19 vaccination drive since January 16 this year. Once every participant has been injected with a second dose, an interim report is expected by the end of August.
