Make sure your child is wearing their mask in all public place, washing hands, social distancing and the appropriate sanitation measures.
Same should be followed with those family members also going on tour.
Follow these and your child will be fine.
Vaccine will only decrease the symptom severity, it will not prevent COVID from infecting your child.
So follow these measures alone.
Corbevax is still not available for all 5-12 year olds. Only Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) has been granted.
For any further doubts, kindly book an online consultation with me.
