“It’s not like taking the adult ones, like what some countries are doing and dividing the dose, these are specifically designed for the children,” he added.
According to the Ministerial Advisor, the government is hopeful that no child will be left behind.
“From the government perspective, no child will be left behind. We have obtained all the vaccines necessary and will do campaigns like this across the country,” the former Health Minister said.
There are roughly between 13, 000 and 15, 000 children between the 5 – 7 age cohort in the country.
“From our perspective, we will leave no child behind, however, we can come to you but we can’t force you to take it.”
Dr. Ramsammy said the vaccines will be available at health centres across the country but the Mministry will also be going to schools.
Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony said talks are ongoing with the Ministry of Education.

“We are working with various schools sending out the request slip for permissions and what we will do is to go to those schools with a larger percentage of parents agreeing so we make the most beneficial use of our time and vaccinate more children,” Dr. Anthony said.
Since November 2021, local health authorities have been trying to secure these special vaccines to administer to children.
Dr. Anthony said the government has been promised the donation of another 60, 000 doses but it will activate that mechanism when these vaccines have been utilised.
Before the vaccine is administered, parental consent is required.
Parents present on Saturday used the occasion to encourage other parents to vaccinate their children.
