Children with any of 11 comorbidities to be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination COVID19VaccinePH
MANILA – The Department of Health said Monday children aged to 12 to 17 with any of 11 comorbidities it cited would be prioritized in the government’s pilot implementation of pediatric vaccination.
Those with comorbidities will be part of priority group A3. The DOH earlier underscored the need for a carefully planned rollout of vaccines for children especially since contracting severe forms of the disease are significantly lower for healthy children. “Kailangan may clearance ng doctor ang mga kabataan na babakunahan with comorbidities. Kailangan may informed consent at assent. Ibig sabihin ang kanilang magulang ay kailangan magbigay ng consent, pipirma sila sa dokumento at yung bata ay may assent para rito," she said.
