No Decision On Booster Shot, Vaccination For Children Yet

Booster dose was not decided, but the group studied children's death data and how it should be interpreted. For instance, if a child suffering from leukemia dies of Covid, then what should be the cause of death? the person present at the meeting said. No vaccine for children has been given approval yet. These decisions will be taken subsequently once a vaccine is approved. As for Omicron, not enough data is available yet to draw any conclusion, the person added.

The group is still finalising the guidelines for children's vaccination, which are expected to give priority to kids who suffer from comorbidities.

While the victory for the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party government has largely been factored into market expectations, the uncertainty surrounding the allocation of seats is stirring some apprehension among investors. NIKET SHAH, the newly appointed chief investment officer (CIO) at Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund (MF), suggests that if the ruling coalition fails to secure a substantial majority, it could exacerbate short-term market volatility. Shah, who oversees assets valued at ₹46,000 crore, shares with Abhishek Kumar via email that valuations remain reasonable, and the potential for higher earnings growth is bolstering the ascent of small and midcap stocks.
