Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges globally, with vulnerable populations such as the elderly and children facing heightened risks. In India, the vaccination campaign against COVID-19 has been a critical component of the public health response. This study aims to assess the impact of COVID-19 vaccination specifically on India's elderly and children, focusing on acceptance, coverage, and public concerns. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of available data, this study examines the acceptance levels of COVID-19 vaccines among the elderly and caregivers of children in India. It explores factors influencing vaccine acceptance, including trust in vaccine efficacy and safety, accessibility of vaccination centers, and government messaging strategies. Moreover, the study investigates the coverage rates among these populations, identifying any disparities in vaccine distribution and access.
