Covid19 vaccines are unique in their lifesaving ability. According to the cdc, routine Childhood Vaccinations have prevented more than 21 million hospitalizations and over 700,000 deaths among children born in the last 20 years. But a vaccine that remains in the vial is 0 effective. That is why the vaccines for Children Progr
Simon treasure. Christmas. We have a situation with high vaccinated countries, like israel in america. Im bo vaccinating school children, certainly 2nd to school children. But the you cant face, its not hard to explain this. Well, weve waited a long time foR The j. C, v. I the joint committee on vaccination and immunization to pronounce their verdict on this. And many a suspected they probably would say because al regulate the mh re, had endorsed and pronounced safe the use of axioms in 12 to 16 year olds. And we have other major jurisdictions like the u. S. Of the European Countries like France And Other Countries elsewhere in the world, like israel, as you say, that have gone down the path of saying these are scenes a safe and were going to use them and they are indeed using them in young people.
