Jill Biden Wants Parents to Vaccinate Children
Vaccines, according to Jill Biden, are the best way to protect children against COVID-19. She also said that the vaccination was safe since it had been “thoroughly studied and carefully tested.”
Daily Mail said the Franklin Sherman Elementary School, where the first lady advocated the COVID-19 immunizations, was the first educational establishment in the United States to hold a polio vaccine clinic in April 1954 . Jill Biden advised parents to choose the same vaccination that saved millions of lives to safeguard their children. Nothing is more essential than our children’s health, she said. She described the decision as a “choice” as well.

The first woman went on to say that being a parent comes with a lot of concern. She cannot guarantee that the world’s hazards will grow less terrifying. But she urges parents not to wait until their children begin driving before taking action. Vaccines, she claims, can alleviate at least one of their concerns.
U.S. Joins The Rest of The World In Vaccinating Kids Under 12
The United States is not the only nation that vaccinates children under the age of 12 against COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccination has already been given to many children aged six and above four countries. These are El Salvador, Chile, Ecuador, and Indonesia. It was unclear, however, when these nations started immunizing the aforementioned groups.
Health officials approved administering COVID-19 vaccines for children under the age of three in four countries. These are Argentina, Bahrain, China, and the United Arab Emirates. The vaccines may be given to children as young as two years old in Cuba.
On the other hand, Costa Rica demands that anyone under the age of 18 get the COVID-19 vaccination. According to The Washington Post, the country’s Health Ministry stated Friday that it will be included in the obligatory immunizations against polio, chickenpox, and HPV, or human papillomavirus.
According to the Health Ministry, the vaccine doses for children under the age of 12 will be obtained next year. Guidelines for the inoculation of children aged 5 to 11 will be provided when the doses for the demographics become available.
