Health Ministry begins administering COVID-19 vaccines to 12-year-olds – Roya News English

The Ministry of Health decided to reduce the age of vaccination against the coronavirus to 12 years, starting Sunday, without prior appointment.

The ministry indicated that the vaccination will be optional. The Pfizer vaccine will be used specifically for those under the age of 18, and with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

In a north Madaba health center, vaccines began to be given to adolescents and children over the age of 12.
