Several areas in China will begin Corona vaccination of teenagers soon. The southwestern region of Guangxi and the city of Jingmen in the central province of Hubei will start vaccinating 15- to 17-year-olds before the end of July, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing state officials. Vaccination of children aged 12 to 14 will then begin in August. The authorities’ goal, they said, is to have all teenagers aged 12 and older fully vaccinated by the end of October if they are medically fit to receive the drug. In the People’s Republic, the vaccines from Sinovac and Sinopharm are approved for the age group between three and 17 years. ari
