PGIMER-Chandigarh and Panjab University bring out sixth educative
comic series to spread COVID-19 awareness amongst children
COVID-19 has become a nightmare for most of the people around the world. While adults can gather data from common platforms like a newspaper, for children it really becomes incomprehensible to understand the talks, advisories and other scientific information. To overcome the challenge, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER, Chandigarh) and Panjab University (PU) have created an educative comic series titled Kids, Vaayu & Corona, for children. Here is the sixth edition sensitising the young kids on various COVID variants and vaccine warriors. This is aimed at helping them become aware about the threats of coronavirus and of ways to remain safe by taking simple precautionary steps for prevention and control of the spread of the infection.
The series is based on conversations between three
children and the superhero of the series, Vaayu, who is
a global citizen, who works for better public health and environment. The sixth part of the series in simple words explains terms like COVID vaccine, yoga, COVID appropriate behaviour, double mask, and other common dos and don’ts.
