International experts, however, warn that delaying or not vaccinating children against Covid-19 could create a dangerous reservoir for the coronavirus.

Manufacturers of Covid-19 vaccines in America and Britain have turned their focus to testing the serum on children to make sure the vaccines are safe for the youngsters.
There is still no Covid-19 vaccine approved by notable health agencies and regulators such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) or American Food and Drug Authority (FDA) for children aged 15 years and below.

The AstraZeneca vaccine being purchased by government has 63 per cent efficacy in preventing Covid-19 illness, the World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed on Monday.
“The AstraZeneca/Oxford product is a viral vectored vaccine. AstraZeneca has been found to have 63.09 per cent efficacy and is suitable for low and middle-income countries due to easy storage requirements,” WHO said in a statement, adding the vaccine has been listed for emergency use.
This efficacy is, however, 30 per cent below the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which are being used in other countries, including Rwanda.
