The government employees who will accompany their children to their vaccination schedule “may avail of special leave privileges”, she added.
Vergeire reassured the parents of the pediatric population that the government continues to procure appropriate Covid-19 jabs for minors to protect them against Covid-19.
The Food and Drug Administration approved on March 11 the emergency use authorization (EUA) for Sinovac’s CoronaVac which allows the Chinese vaccine to be used for pediatric vaccination.
National Vaccination Operations Center Chief Myrna Cabotaje said during a televised public briefing on Tuesday that the country’s vaccine experts are finalizing the guidelines for the administration of Sinovac’s Covid-19 vaccine for children 6 years old and above.
Cabotaje went on to say that the vaccine will provide additional protection for children and parents who do not wish to utilize the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
