COVID-19 vaccination for children aged 16 – 17 will be deployed
26/11/2021
(binhthuan.gov.vn) The
Ministry of Health has just allocated 46,800 doses of Pfizer vaccine to Binh
Thuan province to deploy COVID-19 vaccination for children aged 12-17.
With the number of
vaccines distributed as above, the Department of Health will deploy firstly the
vaccination for children aged 16-17. Based on the number of children aged 16-17
that have been counted by localities (42,799 children), the Provincial Center
for Disease Control will allocate an appropriate number of vaccines to each
locality. As this is a special type of vaccine for children, the Department of
Health notes that after administering the injection, if there is any remaining,
the localities must promptly report to the Department to coordinate these
vaccines to the other subjects.
Regarding the method
of vaccination, it will be organized in the form of campaign vaccination at
fixed vaccination facilities (Medical Stations, Medical Centers, Hospitals), at
schools and mobile injection points, without limitation of the number of people
injecting in a vaccination session, maximizing the capacity of vaccination
sites.
For children going to
school, the vaccination will be carried out at the school or at the appropriate
injection site selected by the educational institutions to ensure vaccination
safety and epidemic prevention.
For children not going
to school, the vaccination will be made at the fixed or mobile injection sites
in the area selected by the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities.
For children with
underlying diseases, the vaccination will be carried out at general hospitals
or medical centers with pediatrics.
For children who are
inpatients at the general hospitals or medical centers with pediatrics, a list
of children aged 12 to 17 years old at the time of vaccination (including
children with the residential address outside of localities or other provinces
and cities) will be made for vaccination according to current regulations of
the Ministry of Health./.
