25/04/2022
(binhthuan.gov.vn) In
Binh Thuan, up to now, the Provincial People's Committee has issued a plan on
COVID-19 vaccination for children from 5 to under 12 years old. Preparations
and human resources are ready for this vaccination. However, the COVID-19
vaccination for children in this age group is still quite new, so many parents are
doubt to the vaccination for their children.
It is expected that
about 126,860 children from 5 to under 12 years old living or studying in Binh
Thuan province will be vaccinated. Vaccination will be conducted in descending
order of age, giving priority to children aged 10 to 11 and gradually lowering
the age according to the progress of vaccine supply and local epidemic
situation. Vaccination work will be organized in the form of campaign at fixed
vaccination facilities such as: health stations, medical centers, hospitals; at
schools and mobile vaccination sites.
