MOH to roll out vaccination for children from February - Khairy

: The Health Ministry will begin COVID-19 vaccination for children aged five to 11 starting this February, as soon as the Pfizer vaccine supply arrives here, scheduled to start Jan 31, said its Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

He said that the booking of vaccination slots for children will be opened in stages, starting Jan 31, with registration priority to be given to parents residing in the Klang Valley, and details will be announced in the near future. He said the Comirnaty vaccine formulation to be used in the programme is a special formulation for children, and is supplied in a 10-dose vial . It needs to be mixed with 1.3mL of common saline solution.

However, he said, like other vaccines, the Comirnaty vaccine specially formulated for children can also give side effects that are commonly experienced by children, such as pain at the injection site, redness and swelling.
