Local vaccination sites officially opened for children aged 12 to 17 on October 20.
Children in this age group will receive only one dose of the Pfizer vaccine and will not need parental consent for the Covid-19 vaccination.
The Children’s Act makes provision for children in this age group to access medical treatment without their parent’s consent under specific guidelines.
The City Times encourages children or parents of the children to send a photograph of the pre-teen or teenager taking the vaccine.
