According to Kuzin, the experience of other countries, where such vaccination campaigns are already carried out, shows that such vaccination is safe. COVID-19 vaccination helps prevent premature death, especially against the background of severe somatic illnesses, outbreaks in organized groups. As noted, 140,000 children aged over 12 have been vaccinated against COVID-19 in Ukraine. "Children are vaccinated only at the request of parents. About 140,000 children aged 12-18 years old have already been vaccinated,” the State Sanitary Doctor of Ukraine said. Отправить в:      другие новости
