Seyed Alireza Marandi, President of the Academy of Medical Sciences, in an interview with Fars Health Reporter, in response to the question of what kind of vaccine children should receive, said: For people under 18 years of age, the Chinese vaccine is Sinofarm.
He added: “However, the Barakat vaccine is now being tested for children to see if this type of vaccine is safe for these ages as well, which will most likely have positive results, but the results of this study have not been announced yet, and now the same The Sinofarm vaccine is part of the Covid 19 treatment chain.
Asked what side effects the vaccine might cause if it was not given to children, he said: “In the first place, the vaccine may not provide the necessary immunity, in which case the vaccine may have side effects.” Therefore, it can be said that if a smaller percentage of adults suffer from complications, but in the use of the same vaccine for children, if the issue of safety has not been tested, it may cause more complications.
The pediatrician said: “We have not used vaccines in the country that we do not know of and we have tried to inject a trusted vaccine for people in the community.”
“Because clinical trials have only been performed on adults,” Marandi said, “it must be seen whether any vaccine to be inoculated provides immunity in children and has no side effects.”
The pediatrician said: “In general, we should consider common vaccines such as measles, pertussis, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, tuberculosis, etc., which are intended for children, are domestically produced and have been tested for decades.” And if there are any side effects, they have been eliminated over time, so these domestically produced vaccines have the standard and approval of the World Health Organization.
“It is natural that children are growing up, they should have proper nutrition, but no special food or medicine is needed for before or after the corona vaccine,” said the pediatrician. The same is true for adults, but children or adults can take a dose of acetaminophen after the vaccination if they notice side effects and pain at the injection site, which is not necessary.
