Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on Sunday requested authorities to look into Covid-19 vaccination for children aged 5 and above.

 

Chinh requested authorities to look into and seek approval into certain vaccine-related topics, including the possibility to vaccinate children aged 5 and above based on scientific and safety criteria that are suitable for the disease situation in both Vietnam and other countries.

 

Over 20 countries have vaccinated children aged 3-11, Nguyen Minh Vu, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, said at the meeting. The WHO said the pros of vaccinating children aged 3-11 outweigh the cons, while vaccinating elderly people and those with underlying conditions should come first before moving on to children, he added.
