Anti-COVID vaccination will soon be open to children aged 12 to 14, with priority given to children suffering from chronic diseases or exposed to specific risk factors, the Health Ministry announced in a press release Friday.

The underage child must have a parental authorisation to get inoculated, the same source specified.

The ministry called on the parents wishing to vaccinate their children to register on the Evax.tn platform so as to receive a message invite.

Children with chronic diseases or exposed to risk factors should be registered on the “priority request” section, the ministry indicated.

The parents could give their consent through the Evax.tn platform or fill in the “parental authorisation” form and submit it to one of the vaccination centres.
