The COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 6 to 11 will be tested in Moscow. These include children aged 6 to 11.

Although experts from around the world express skepticism about vaccinating children in this age group, vaccines are being developed to prevent them in several countries around the world.. Scientists believe that children from 6 to 11 years old, if they are not burdened by some severe chronic diseases, rarely get COVID-19 with symptoms and in severe form, and deaths in this age group are generally calculated at a rate of one in a million. Therefore, children may simply not need to be vaccinated, especially since some Western vaccines can cause dangerous and unwanted side effects in rare cases such as endocarditis or multisystem inflammatory syndrome..

However, the Russian drug Sputnik V has not yet caused such side effects in anyone, it has not been seen in an increase in the risk of blood clots.. That is why the Sputnik M vaccine for children from 6 to 11 years old will be tested in Moscow in a number of medical institutions.. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Health had already registered it for adolescents aged 12 to 17, and now the drug is being tested for a younger group..

A vaccine for the youngest children is needed in order to slow the uncontrolled spread of coronavirus in this population. Yes, children may not get seriously ill with coronavirus, but it spreads among them without any obstacles and gets the opportunity to mutate..
