Vaccination of children against Covid-19 not in Latvia's national calendar yet 2021-05-07 LETA/TBT Staff RIGA - Vaccination of children against Covid-19 is not yet being included in Latvia's national calendar, Dace Zavadska, chairperson of the State Immunization Council and head of the Family Vaccination Center at the Children's Clinical University Hospital, said in an interview with Diena daily. In Zavadska's words, the Covid-19 vaccines were originally meant for adults, especially seniors, and that at the beginning of the pandemic transmissions in children were very rare. Now, the situation has changed - adolescents catch the virus more often because their desire to socialize is especially strong, which is why scientists have started to work on vaccines designed for this age group.
