PETALING JAYA: Parents of children aged under five years are waiting for Covid-19 vaccines to be made available for this age group here.

This is after the United States became the first country to approve the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines last month for children as young as six months to five years old.

Another parent, M. Malar, 35, is also ready to register her three-year-old son for the vaccine as her six-year-old son, who had been vaccinated earlier this year, did not experience any negative side effects. “It means that they wanted to make sure it’s truly safe,” said Malar, a physician who believes in evidence-based medicine.

“There will be a lot of anxiety among parents because it involves such young kids, so the government has to address this matter,” she added. “Vaccination against Covid-19 will significantly reduce the risk of death, hospitalisation and MIS-C in children. He added that as a minimum, vaccination consideration should be given to children facing the most risk of developing severe illnesses from Covid-19.
