The Department of Health (DOH) reported that approximately 168,355 children aged five to 11 have registered for COVID-19 vaccination in their respective local government units.
Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje stated that the vaccination drive will expand as more vaccines become available in the country.
Cabotaje also clarified that children with and without comorbidities will be vaccinated simultaneously.
This approach differs from the vaccination of the 12 to 17 age group, where those with comorbidities were prioritized, aiming for a faster rollout for the younger age bracket.
