Some 3,416 children with comorbidities have been vaccinated against COVID-19 as of Tuesday, the Department of Health said Wednesday.

Government began the inoculation of children aged 12 to 17 with health risks last Friday in 8 hospitals. It will expand to 13 more hospitals later this week, Interior Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya earlier said.

A child without parents or a legal guardian can be represented by government to get the vaccine, she said. "Ang mga eksperto natin nagsabi ang benepisyo para ibigay ang bakunang ito ay mas mataas pa kesa dun sa risk nitong sinasabing mga reaction na ito," she told ABS-CBN's Teleradyo. Government will shoulder the coast if a child experiences an adverse reaction to the jab, Vergeire said.
