Kuwait to vaccinate children aged 5 to 12 soon

Children aged five to 11 will soon be vaccinated in Kuwait, the Ministry of Health announced yesterday.

With Pfizer-BioNtech announcing they are close to obtaining a licence for the use of their vaccine for those in this age group, the ministry said it will vaccinate children in a few weeks from now as soon as the company obtains a licence for use in the US and Europe.

The dosage for this group will be much lower when compared to those above 12 years, Al Rai newspaper said.
