Doctor Fong says this has been the plan which is to vaccinate students in different age groups and start school after a while for that particular age group.

Doctor Fong says they have done a lot of work to get the Pfizer vaccines rolled out.

On the vaccination of the adult target population, Doctor Fong says they are struggling to get beyond the 90% fully vaccinated rate.
