Germany’s Health authorities will begin anti-COVID-19 vaccine rollout for children aged 5 to 11 starting this Monday.
Germany’s Health Ministry said children will receive a lower dose of the adult vaccine, including BioNtech and Pfizer. These vaccines will be provided in pediatric clinics and public vaccination centers.
The country has already prepared vaccine campaigns for children, such as in the zoo or the Nature Museum in Berlin in order to encourage and raise awareness among aged 5 to 11 to receive their jabs.
This move comes as a result of the country’s concerns over the surge of the new Omicron variant. Many EU countries will do the same, including Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
The country aims to protect children from the virus, as daily COVID-19 cases keep increasing.
The average number of new cases reported each day reaches 50,206, with the virus at 84% of its peak, according to Reuters’ latest COVID tracker on December 13.
