Yantai promotes COVID-19 vaccination for minors aged 12-17

Yantai, a coastal city in East China's Shandong province, started a COVID-19 vaccination campaign on Aug 1.

The city is expected to carry out mass vaccination for minors in stages and by age, from senior students to those in junior grades. Its initial plan is to complete the two-dose process in September.

Most students from primary, junior high and senior high schools, secondary vocational schools and technical schools are included in the targeted age groups.

Parents or guardians are required to read consent forms thoroughly and sign their informed consent before vaccination, and accompany their children on-site while they are being vaccinated.

People being vaccinated must bring relevant documents (ID cards and passports) and take precautionary measures according to local prevention and control requirements when being vaccinated. They should also stay at the vaccination site for about 30 minutes for observation after vaccination.
