Can children have full immunity after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?

Some parents doubt whether vaccinating children aged 3 to 11 can produce the due immune effect as their immune systems are still developing. Rest assured.

The mechanism of vaccines inducing antibodies in both children and adults is exactly the same. And the immune systems of children aged 3 or older are almost as mature as immune systems of adults. The vaccine will generate a near 100 percent immune response in children.

This has also been proved true in clinical trials of different age groups. The data obtained from clinical trials found that in age group 18-59, COVID-19 vaccines induced highest immunogenicity, a key indicator of immunity, followed by age group under 18. The outcome of age group 60 and above was the lowest.

But the difference is very small and not statistically significant. So the same vaccination strategy has been adopted for all age groups in China.
