Children in the Principality aged five to 11 are now eligible to have the Covid-19 vaccine, provided authorisation is given by both parents.
The Prince’s Government announced Monday morning in a statement that it would be extending its vaccination programme to this age group “In response to the request expressed by certain families”, adding that “The MonĂ©gasque National Vaccination Committee recently came out favourably on the vaccination against Covid-19 of children in this age group.”
The vaccine is voluntary and interested parents are invited to make an appointment by calling the Covid-19 Call Centre or go online at https://vaccination-covid19.gouv.mc.
It will take place at the National Vaccination Centre in a space specially equipped for children, after a medical consultation is carried out on site by a paediatrician. Authorisation signed by both parents must be presented beforehand.
