The Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says they are in an advanced stage of planning to begin the vaccination of children under 18 years.
He says they will begin with children between 16 and 18 years.
Dr Fong further says this will involve a stringent process to ensure that parental or guardian consent is secured and online registration is encouraged prior to vaccination.
Dr Fong adds the required number of vials of vaccine has been put aside to ensure this target population between 16 and 18 can receive both doses of the vaccine.
He further says more stocks are expected to continue the vaccination of eligible children less than 18 years.
Dr Fong highlighted that any decision on the opening of schools will be contingent on how well this vaccination phase rolls out.
