Speaking in Parliament today (Friday 25th March 2022), Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh confirmed that Spain has agreed to donate 40,000 doses of Pfizer paediatric vaccines. Following the receipt of these doses, Minister Deyalsingh said Government will commence its vaccination program for children between the ages of five (5) to eleven (11) years old. The Minister said he could not yet give a firm date for delivery. He noted in Parliament, “But as with all the vaccines coming in, we are working assiduously behind the scenes to acquire these vaccines in the shortest space of time, and let's hope that you all [the Opposition] encourage children to take the vaccines.” The Minister said the Government is also in discussion with Pfizer to procure more paediatric vaccines as he estimates that 120,000 children qualify for the shot which will therefore require 240,000 doses. Minister Deyalsingh added that the shots from Spain will have a short expiry date and is expected to expire in June 2022. The Health Minister said the World Health Organization (WHO) granted approval for the use of the paediatric vaccines on children in January 2022. [Source: T&T Guardian]
