Mixed Reactions to COVID Vaccines for Kids

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Mixed reaction to the news that pediatric COVID-19 vaccines will soon be available for young children in The Bahamas.

Joshua Williams is on the story.

The Bahamas launched its COVID-19 vaccination campaign last year.

Since then, nearly 160,000 people have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

Currently, individuals 12 years and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

Health Minister Dr. Michael Darville says doses for kids ages 5-12 will arrive later this month.
