The Union Health Ministry has clarified apprehensions of fear and vulnerability surrounding Covid-19 in children, especially in the subsequent disease outbreak waves. An official report stated that Covid-19 in children is often asymptomatic and seldom requires hospitalisation.

The statement also said, “During the Covid-19 second wave in the country, several questions have been raised in the media regarding the higher vulnerability of children to get adversely impacted by Covid-19 during the subsequent waves, if any,” The experts have allayed these fears and apprehensions on several platforms,” the statement added.

The statement suggests that children who catch Covid-19 often remain asymptomatic, officials said there is a possibility of a small percentage of children who get infected requiring hospitalisation. They also added that “The healthy children recovered with mild illness without need for hospitalisation while the ones admitted in the hospital due to Covid-19 infection during the second wave either had co-morbidities or low immunity,”

Meanwhile, sources said that there is no data, either from India or globally which show that children will be seriously infected in the subsequent Covid-19 waves. The government has informed that adequate arrangements are being made in terms of healthcare infrastructure in a bid to provide effective care and treatment to children who may get infected.

The government has also ramped up its efforts to bring children under the vaccination ambit and said Covaxin trials have also been started in children between 2-18 years.
