In Pics | ‘Tearful relief’: Babies, toddlers get first Covid jabs in US
COVID-19 vaccination for babies and toddlers has finally started in the United States on Tuesday. Several children were given shots on thighs and arms.
Many kids were left in tears while some were also unaffected by the pinch of the needle. Most of the parents were relieved as their children had got an extra layer of protection.
The Covid vaccines are being administered to the children who are as young as six months in the United States.
