The report by the committee has said that “paediatric facilities such as doctors, staff, equipment like ventilators, ambulances, etc. are not enough to what may be needed in case a huge number of infections in children”. The report has been submitted to Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

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.
