Everything you need to know about kids getting Covid jabs - from side effects to protection
They include pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle and joint pain, chills and fever.When will children get Covid vaccines?
Preventing cases of Covid in kids will also reduce the risk an adult picks the virus up, either because their jab has not worked, they have refused their jab offer or cannot have it for medical reasons.Many scientists and MPs alike do not agree with vaccinating children, who are unlikely to get severely sick with Covid, when there are millions of adults worldwide waiting for a jab.
Professor Andrew Pollard, who helped develop the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 jab, told the All Party Parliamentary Group on Coronavirus that global vaccine inequity was “plain to see”.David Beckham, Olivia Colman, Orlando Bloom,Whoopi Goldberg and Billie Eilish are among a group of celebs and Unicef ambassadors who have written to world leaders calling for action.
Children are unlikely to be given AstraZeneca, and so they can be sent to countries abroad, Prof Sridhar said. “Given that we know children can transmit, where we are going to see problems going forward is not going to be in care homes, it’s not going to be in hospitals, it’s going to be in schools, because this is where you’re going to see large groups of unvaccinated kids together."
