Panama has begun to vaccinate children between the ages of 5 and 11 this Friday. The Central American country has 522,198 minors in that age range and is giving priority to immunizing those with chronic diseases, immunosuppressed and severely disabled.
The Ministry of Health, which currently has 60,000 of the 1.5 million doses purchased from Pfizer, expects to immunize 25,400 children between the ages of 5 and 11 in the next two weeks.
Pediatric vaccination is being carried out in national and regional public hospitals, as well as in four private centers in the Panamanian capital.
