THE CITY government of Malabon has opened the registration of children aged 5 to 11 who are willing to be vaccinated against Covid19.

In a Facebook post, Mayor Antolin Oreta III urged parents to have their kids inoculated.

“Ngayong patuloy ang pagtaas ng active Covid19 cases dito sa NCR, lalo pa nating bibilisan ang isinasagawang vaccination to protect everyone from the threat of Omicron,” Oreta said.

“Our children’s safety comes first kaya ipa-register na sila because we’ll start vaccinating them as soon as ilabas na ng DOH ang guidelines,” he added, referring to the Department of Health.

The Philippines has approved the use of Pfizer vaccine for kids below 11 years old.

The Pfizer vaccine for children will be of lower dosage and concentration than those given to adults.
