The vaccination program for children between the ages of 5-years to 11-years is expected to start within a month.

The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says what he knows is that their team have met with a few of their development partners on the vaccine and they should be able to start their program within a month.

He says their staff will need to be trained when using Pfizer vaccine in pediatric doses because it requires some specifications.
