Last year mums and dads navigated online classes, chores, sometimes sickness. This year, they’re talking to their children about death and a disease they aren’t sure whom it will get next
Suneeta Verma, whose husband died of COVID, is focussed on making ends meets, so she can bring up her six-year-old daughter to do better than to work in other people’s houses for little money.
The comic is available in the Union Health Ministry website and can be downloaded from there.
New Delhi:
In a novel bid to educate children about Covid vaccines, the Union Health Ministry has issued a comic book that provides information on vaccine development and how it will be safely delivered to the public. An earlier edition of the comic, published last year, provided information on the outbreak and how they can remain safe.
The graphic novel, titled Kids, Vaayu & Corona: Rise of Vaccine and Fall of Corona , has Vaayu as a superhero who has been called upon to educate the children about the various aspects of vaccines. The issues range from antibodies, types of vaccines, procedure of vaccine trial, safety of vaccines, getting registered for vaccination etc.
