Lawyer James Sayson, deputy chief of the Local Vaccination Operations Center , said that they had started the online registration for the age group more than two weeks ago already.Sayson said that based on the information that he received, the government would already conduct the pilot vaccination for minors in Luzon within this week.
“After ana I would expect nga sugdan na pod sa Metro Cebu LGUs ang pagvaccinate sa 12-17 years old. So manawagan ta nga magparegister na sila online para pagopen nato sa atong vaccine for that age group, deretso na sila nga magpabakuna,” Sayson said. Earlier, the Food and Drugs Administration has issued an emergency use authorization to Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to be utilized for minors.
Sayson is also hoping that with the start of the vaccination for minors, they can achieve herd immunity, or 70 percent of their target population to be inoculated with the COVID-19 vaccine before the year ends.Due to this, Sayson said that they would be coordinating with the Department of Education in master listing these minors since the age group was considered school children.
“Katong mga outside sa 12 to 17 ba, pabakuna namo karon because pag-abot sa Pfizer nga vaccine this October unya naa nata’y signal sa 12 to 17, ato gyud nang ihatag sa 12 to 17 kay dili man mi kahatag ug laing vaccine ngadto nila,” he added.
