“The CoronaVac vaccine can only be given to children who have reached the age of five,” he stated. ” To obtain complete vaccination status, two doses of CoronaVac vaccine with an interval of four weeks must be given to children aged five to 11.” [Photo: COVID-19 vaccination/Flickr]Dr Noor Azmi said that PPVs operated by the ministry of health (MOH) and PHCorp under the National Children’s COVID-19 Immunisation Programme (PICKids) will distribute CoronoVac at no charge. Alternatively, he also noted that private clinics and hospitals also offer the vaccine to children aged five to 11, but for a fee. Parents who register their children in the MySejahtera mobile app will receive a link to book vaccination appointments, he added. Furthermore, parents could check the operating hours and list of PPVs that offer CoronaVac on a walk-in basis on the MOH and PHCorp websites, and also seek further clarification on queries from health staff at the locations.
