The Ministry of Health yesterday announced the opening of registration for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children aged 5 to 11, starting from today.

This coincides with the arrival of the first shipment of vaccines specified for this age group.

The Ministry stressed the importance of vaccination, particularly for children, to protect them, their families and the community.

It urged all parents who wish to vaccinate their children to register them via the BeAware app, or the Ministry’s website: healthalert. gov.bh.

The vaccine will be administered at the vaccination centre at Sitra Mall.

Registration for the vaccine requires the consent of a legal guardian.

The children must also be accompanied by an adult when receiving their vaccination.
