COVID-19 booster shot sa mga bata, pinag-aaralan pa, ayon sa eksperto
The Vaccine Expert Panel is currently studying the possibility of administering COVID-19 booster shots to children.
Dr. Nina Gloriani, the panel's chairperson, stated that while recommendations for a second booster shot have been made for vulnerable adult groups like the elderly and immunocompromised, the general population is not yet included.
The panel is also investigating the need for booster shots for children, with ongoing studies to determine their efficacy.
Previously, on February 24, the panel mentioned that booster shots for 12 to 17-year-old children were not yet recommended due to a lack of studies on waning immunity after their primary vaccination series.
