The Health Ministry has asked health maintenance organizations to get ready to vaccinate children under 12 with serious pre-existing conditions, reports Channel 12 News.
A very limited number of youths under 12 years old have received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination. This directive, which has yet to be finalized by the Health Ministry, would expand that figure and set a precedent for the rest of the world.
