Dr. Soha Al Bayat, Head of the Vaccination Section in the Department of Health Protection and Communicable Disease Control at the Ministry of Public Health, called on parents not to be afraid of vaccinating their children against the Coronavirus “Covid-19”, pointing out that more than 40% of children aged 12-15 years have taken the two doses of the vaccine recently, despite the travel of some of the citizens and residents outside the country.

She expressed her hope that the coming period would witness an increase in the number of children receiving vaccinations with the return of travellers from abroad during the current holidays season, explaining that in general, there is a very good response to the issue of children’s vaccination, to the extent that children themselves are very eager to take the vaccine.
