Government will this week begin the administration of COVID-19 vaccines for children in the 5 to 11 age group, Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony announced on Friday.
In his COVID-19 update, Anthony said that there would only be enough vaccines for 25,000 children in the age group and as a result of the limited supply they would be administered on a “first come, first served” basis.
The vaccines are expected to arrive in Guyana on Monday and Anthony said the start of the vaccination exercise would begin across the country in the latter part of the week.
