PETALING JAYA: Unlike adults, children won’t be subjected to restrictions if they don’t seem to be vaccinated, says Khairy Jamaluddin (pic).
The Health Minister urged mother and father to register their children aged 5 to 11 for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme for children on the MySejahtera utility.
However, he famous that this programme was not obligatory.
“Children will not be restricted if they are not vaccinated unlike the unvaccinated adults,” Khairy tweeted yesterday.
On Jan 20, the Health Minister introduced that the Covid-19 vaccination programme for children aged 5 to 12 would start on Feb 3.
He stated mother and father might e book appointment slots through MySejahtera starting Jan 31 and the method could be in phases beginning with the Klang Valley.
The programme will utilise a particular vaccine formulation for children, which is by Pfizer, and it is going to be a two-dose regime with an eight-week interval.
Each dose will probably be 0.2mL and incorporates 10 micrograms of mRNA vaccine, which is one-third of what’s given to adults.
