SINGAPORE - About 3,900 children aged six to 11 in special education schools have been invited to take the Covid-19 vaccination.

Of these, more than six in 10 have signed up to do so, said the Ministry of Education on Wednesday .

The board has also put in place steps to help smoothen the vaccination process for pupils in Sped schools. She said:"For the vaccination exercise in Sped schools, the team prepared a student journey graphic guide and photos of our staff's uniform to be shared with the parent and child before vaccination, so that they can have a better idea of what and who to expect during vaccination."

She added:"We also give sufficient time for the child to relax before he or she is ready to be vaccinated. If the child needs time to calm down, he or she can take a rest at the designated 'cool down' area."
