And she said in a statement posted on her Facebook page, that she “decided to reduce the age of vaccination against the Covid-19 virus to 12 years old, starting from Sunday, July 25, 2021, without prior appointment.”
The Jordanian Ministry of Health also clarified that “the vaccination will be optional with the Pfizer vaccine, specifically for the age group less than 18 years, and with the consent of the guardian.”
During the past two months, the United States and several European countries began giving 12-year-olds the vaccine against the Corona virus, especially Pfizer.
The total number of injuries in Jordan since the start of the pandemic has reached 763,922, including 9,948 deaths, according to Agence France-Presse.
Out of the 10 million population, the number of those who received two doses of the vaccine in the Kingdom exceeded 1.9 million, while about 2.7 million received one dose.
At dawn last Sunday, Jordan received half a million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which Washington donated to the Kingdom, directly outside the global mechanism for providing vaccines for poor countries “Cofax”.
Jordan announced last month that it had contracted with several parties for about 12 million doses of vaccines against the Corona virus, and that it was in the process of ordering another five million doses.
The government urges citizens to receive the vaccine, and last week it took punitive measures for those who fail to receive it.
Among these measures is forcing public sector employees who did not receive a first dose of the vaccine or missed a second dose to present a negative test result on the morning of Sunday and Thursday of each week.
It also prohibited the issuance of any work permit or the renewal of annual residency for those who did not receive a first dose of the vaccine or missed a second dose.
