To date, only Pfizer\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine is given an emergency use authorization for the use of five- to 11-year olds.<\/p>\n

The government is expecting the procured doses to arrive within the week.<\/p>\n

\u201cInaasahan din ang pagdating ngayong linggo ng Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines na binili ng ating pamahalaan. Dahil ito ay reformulated, ito ay sadyang binili upang ekslusibong gamitin para sa pagbabakuna ng mga bata na nasa edad lima hanggang 11 taong gulang lamang,\u201d Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said during the Palace press briefing.<\/p>\n

(We expect the arrival of government-procured Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines this week. Since this is reformulated, this is bought to be administered exclusively for kids aged five to 11 only.)<\/p>\n

Nograles, the co-chair of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases, noted the importance of vaccination in preparation for in-person classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cMahalaga po ito sa ating paghahanda sa muling pagbabalik ng face-to-face classes o pisikal na balik-eskwela,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

(This is vital in our preparation for the return of face-to-face classes or physical learning.)<\/p>\n

Earlier, President Rodrigo Duterte approved the expansion of limited face-to-face classes in areas under Alert Levels 1 and 2.<\/p>\n
