The programme to vaccinate young kids against COVID-19 will start on February 3rd. 

The Health Ministry says it will involve some 4 million children between the ages of 5 to 12.

Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali says for a start, those with health problems will be vaccinated in hospital, while others will take their jabs at PPVs. 

Vaccinations will soon be expanded to other locations, such as schools and off-site PPVs.

For now, the vaccinations will be limited to Klang Valley residents, but it will be expanded nationwide soon.
