DOH: 52K minors aged 5-11 vaccinated, only 4 experienced mild side effects

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said a total of 52,262 minors belonging to the said age group have received one dose in 56 vaccination sites.

“Kaya naman po muli po amin pong hinihikayat ang aming mga magulang, ang ating mga legal guardian, iparehistro na po natin ang ating mga kabataan edad 5 hanggang 11 taon para sa karagdagang proteksyon,” she later added. “Pinakamataas ang naitalang case fatality rate noong Nobyembre kung saan tumama ito sa 1.47%,” she said.

“Kahit kailan hindi po sinabi ng Department of Health na ang ating pagbabakuna ay pwe-pwersahin natin ang ating mga magulang. This is purely voluntary, we are asking for the consent and the assent of kids,” she said.after the government removed the provision wherein the State may give the necessary consent for the vaccination of minors aged 5 to 11 years old.
