The report has requested necessary vaccination to the kids with co-morbidities and a particular focus on those with disabilities. The third wave is assumed to hit by October. The experts have agreed with different institutions. Several studies have told of a third wave, but these are not sure. The threat with kids is they haven’t been vaccinated yet, with most experts think they are not open to acute infections but can transfer the virus to others.
