Maharashtra: Minister Jitendra Awhad- USA vaccinating 12 year old’s

Minister Jitendra Awhad says, US regulators on May 10 expanded the use of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to children as young as 12, offering a way to protect the nation’s adolescents before they head back to school in the fall and paving the way for them to return to more normal activities. Where are we going?

       For Covid, the estimated threshold for herd immunity is at least 65%-70% of people having protection against infection, although Mr. Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci has increased his estimate to 90%, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has said the level is not known.

      President Joe Biden has laid out plans to vaccinate 70% of US adults by 4 July and roll out the shots for 12- to 15-year-olds as soon as possible
