A team led by researchers from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Australia has investigated the challenges of Covid-19 vaccination, particularly the spread of large-scale infections in communities in low- and middle-income countries, and the importance of immunity from infection.

The review suggests that the anti-Covid-19 vaccination campaign should be carried out alongside routine vaccines for diseases such as measles, pneumonia and diarrhea in children in low- and middle-income countries.

The study shows that although most children were infected with Covid-19 and became seriously ill, deaths due to it were rare. The researchers said that the impact of the anti-Covid-19 vaccine was limited when the infection was examined in children.
