Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the statistics showing an increasing trend of infections in children below 18 years old was worrying, while the sharp rise in deaths among this age group was also of concern.
Dr Noor Hisham said that with the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme for teenagers having kicked off on Monday , the Health Ministry is targeting vaccinations for children in the adolescent group aged between 12 and 17, in preparation for a safe return to school. "Accordingly, parents and guardians are advised to register their eligible children through their respective educational institutions respectively and through the MySejahtera app immediately," he said.
Dr Noor Hisham also advised parents and caregivers to look out for side effects among the young ones following their jabs, saying that like other medicines, the Covid-19 vaccine also comes with side effects, but that they are usually mild and self-limiting. "However, the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis is lower than the risk for heart inflammation caused by Covid-19, which is 37 times higher.
