A total of 7,102 children were vaccinated over the last 2 days.
Dr Fong says the 15 to 17-year vaccination program has been ongoing with much of the teething issues mitigated.
He says the denominator for this phase of vaccination is 45,691 and it is subject to adjustments as target population verification is an ongoing exercise.
He also says a task force has been established to look at ensuring adequate and appropriate oversight over the implementation and maintenance of all measures needed to make the school environment as safe as possible.
Dr Fong adds as emphasized, the vaccination coverage rate in children will not determine the school starting dates.
He also says the children vaccination rate also does not impact the current social relaxation and/or economic recovery program.
