Da Nang starts COVID-19 vaccinations for teenagers
VOV.VN - The central city of Da Nang on November 20 kick-started a COVID-19 vaccination campaign for children aged 12 to 15.
According to the municipal administration, nearly 35,000 children in this age group are expected to receive their first Pfizer shot this time.
All the children are required to strictly follow the Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 guidelines, such as wearing a face mask, maintaining a safe distance and washing their hand with sanitizer at the vaccination site.
They all undergo medical examinations before inoculation and close monitoring after injection to ensure there are no adverse reactions.
Earlier this month, the city started inoculating children aged 15 to 17, with more than 45,000 students of grades 10 to 12 expected to receive their first jab.
Da Nang plans to resume face-to-face learning for high school students in safe areas next week. To meet the immunization target, the city has arranged 19 vaccination venues in all districts and medical facilities. All healthcare workers have undertaken training to ensure safe vaccinations.
