Last week, the UAE had approved administering Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for children aged between 12 and 15 years.
And on Tuesday, a top official had said that taking a vaccine shot is an important tool to help children return to schools from the next academic year.
“Despite the low number of positive cases among children, vaccination is very important because students are gradually going back to face-to-face (learning in) schools next year. Our message to all parents is to be rest assured that this vaccination will help all of us feel safe and protect the health and wellness of our children,” Dr Farida Al Hosani, Official Spokesperson for the UAE’s health sector, said.
