The central city of Da Nang plans to give COVID-19 vaccine shots to over 100,000 children aging from 12 to under 18 years old within November and December.

Accordingly, the city aims to vaccinate 45,485 children from 15-18 years old and 56,740 others from the age of 12-15.

Priority will be given to older children. About 19 vaccination stations will be set up across the city, while training courses will be organised for medical staff to ensure safety during the vaccination activities.

The Department of Education and Training was assigned to make a list of children eligible for the vaccination, while coordinating with the city health care sector to give guidance and support to parents and children on vaccination registration and post-vaccination health supervision.
