🔒 Closed COVID-19 vaccination for 5 to 11 years old to start Feb. 1

The vaccination against COVID-19 of children aged 5 to 11 years old is set to start on February 1 initially in the National Capital Region, National Task Force Against COVID-19 medical adviser Dr. Ted Herbosa said Tuesday.

Herbosa said the government is set to expand nationwide the vaccination in the middle of February.

Nothing to fear

Meanwhile, vaccine expert Dr. Lulu Bravo said parents and guardians have nothing to fear when it comes to giving COVID-19 vaccination to kids aged 5 to 11 years.

"We have been vaccinating children for 45 years. The first mass immunization of children happened in 1974 and since then, a lot of children were vaccinated and were saved against measles, diphtheria, polio, meningitis, among others," Bravo said during a Palace briefing.

"We saved children because of the vaccines. Kaya hindi natin kailangan matakot na ang mga bata ay babakunahan kasi 50 taon na binabakunahan ang mga bata at marami pong pag-aaral sa bakuna," she added.
