With the opening of schools, children have also been vaccinated in many countries around the world. What about the other countries?
With many countries in the world able to supply vaccines, vaccinations have started to be made from the oldest to the youngest. While the need for high-age citizens to be vaccinated has been little discussed, vaccination of children has been highly controversial. If we remember, with the recent opening of schools in Turkey, vaccinations were granted for 12 years and older. So which other countries in the world have granted children the right to vaccinate?
Vaccination of children in Europe
In Europe As of May, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine for 12-15 year olds. Afterwards, different countries in the European Union (EU) followed different vaccination schedules.
The vast majority of people between the ages of 12 and 15 in Denmark and 12-19 years old in Spain received a single dose of the vaccine. On the other hand, Denmarkis currently the only country in the EU to lift all quarantine measures.
Similarly, France has already administered a single dose of the vaccine to 66% of children aged 12-17. However, 52% of children received two doses of the vaccine. Moreover, as of October, the country's vaccination passport will be extended to under-18s. In this application, children will have to show that they are vaccinated or tested negative for Covid-19 when entering the museum, cinema, restaurant and other interiors.
In Germany, 12 years and older were granted vaccinations from August due to the rapid spread of the Delta variant. Also in June, experts in Germany recommended that the vaccine be made between the ages of 12 and 15 with chronic diseases.
In Sweden, children between the ages of 12 and 15 with lung conditions or at risk are vaccinated. In Norway, children between the ages of 12 and 15 can be vaccinated, but they are entitled to a single dose of the vaccine.

As we said before, as of September 6th, all people aged 12 and over have been granted vaccinations in Turkey. Previously, as of August 18, over-15s were granted vaccinations. However, children with chronic diseases over the age of 12 were included in the vaccination calendar in August.

U.S. and Canada
Vaccines over the age of 12 were approved in the U.S. and Canada starting in May. In July, 42% of people between the ages of 12 and 17 in the U.S. received a single dose and 32% received two doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)reported that the number of children admitted to hospital due to Covid-19 is 3-4 times higher in states with low vaccination rates. In a group of schools, administrators decided to require the vaccine to be mandatory for over-12s to attend classes. Some parents are appealing the decision.
In Los Angeles, the requirement has been expanded to include 600,000 children. In New York, school employees were required to be vaccinated. Pfizer has begun testing the Covid-19 vaccine on even younger children. The first results for children between the ages of 5 and 11 are expected in September, while the results for younger children are expected at the end of the year.

China and Sinovac are built
As of June, children between the ages of 3 and 17 have been vaccinated against Sinovac in China. China became the first country to start vaccinating children of this age (3 years). The country, which has a population of 1.4 billion, also needs under-18s to be vaccinated by the end of the year, with 80% of the population vaccinated. In China, however, vaccinations seem to depend on the wishes of citizens, but some local governments have announced that children whose entire family has not received two doses of the vaccine will not be accepted.
In Chile, the Sinovac vaccine was administered at the age of 6 years and over. Moreover, a statement by Sinovac said the vaccines were being tested in South Africa from 6-month-old babies to 17-year-olds.
India
In India, where the young population is very large, roughly 60% of children have contracted the coronavirus since the beginning of the epidemic. In this sense, this young population has gained some immunity. In August, the use of vaccines from the local company Zydus Cadila was approved for use at the age of 12 and over. This vaccine is made in three doses.
