Amid rising Covid cases, China begins vaccinating children as young as 3 years

China started inoculating children as young as 3 years old amid the rising Covid cases. China has fully vaccinated nearly 76% of its population. The vaccination drive comes as a part of China taking new clampdown measures to try to stamp out the small outbreaks. Here are some pictures of Chinese children getting the Covid-19 vaccines.
