The city government here on Thursday resumed coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) inoculation for children aged 5 to 11 in various shopping malls.<\/p>\n
In its announcement, the Emergency Operations Center Task Force (EOC-TF) said it has again set up vaccination sites at Ayala Malls Capitol Central, SM City Bacolod, and Robinsons Place Bacolod for minors until March 12.<\/p>\n
\u201cBring your kids to where they got their first dose,\u201d the EOC-TF said.<\/p>\n
A maximum of 100 children getting the initial dose are being accommodated in each of the three venues.<\/p>\n
Those who availed of the first dose at the Riverside College campus can also get their second dose at Ayala Malls Capitol Central or Robinsons Place Bacolod.<\/p>\n
Also, second doses are available for students of St. John\u2019s Institute on March 10 and 11, and those enrolled at STI-Western Negros University on March 11 and 12.<\/p>\n
Last February 24, the EOC-TF suspended the vaccination for 5 to 11 years old due to a limited supply of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines.<\/p>\n
According to the Department of Health, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is recommended for active immunization for the prevention of Covid-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 5 years and older, based on the emergency use authorization issued by the Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n
As of March 9, Bacolod has vaccinated some 5,180 minors in the 5 to 11 age group, data of the Department of Health-Western Visayas showed. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
