2 doses of Pfizer vaccine for children aged 5-11.
2 dháileog den vacsaín Pfizer le tabhairt do leanaí idir 5-11.
It has been confirmed that children in 5-11 years of age will be given two doses of the Pfizer vaccine against Covid-19 in this country.
Tá sé deimhnithe go dtabharfar dhá dháileog den vacsaín Pfizer in aghaidh covid 19 do leanaí idir 5-11 bliain d’aois sa tír seo.
There are approximately 480,000 primary school pupils in this age group.
Tá thart ar 480,000 dalta bunscoile san aoisghrúpa seo.
Professor Brian McGrath, head of the High Level Task Force on Covid-19 Vaccination, said that separate clinics for children will be set up in vaccination centers to reassure them before they receive the injections.
Dúirt an tOllamh Professor Brian Mac Craith, ceannasaí an Tascfhórsa Ardleibhéil ar Vacsaíniú covid 19, go mbunófar clinicí ar leith do leanaí in ionaid vacsaínithe d’fhonn iad a chur ar a suaimhneas sula bhfaigheann siad na hinstealltaí.
The separate children’s clinics are being set up on the advice of the National Immunization Advisory Committee, said Professor McGrath.
Is de réir comhairle ón gCoiste Comhairleach Náisiúnta um Imdhíonadh atá na clinicí ar leith do pháistí á mbunú, a dúirt an tOllamh Mac Craith.
Speaking on RTÉ, he announced that the relevant portal on the Health Service Executive’s website will be open to parents from next week.
Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, thug sé le fios go mbeidh an tairseach ábhartha ar shuíomh idirlín Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte oscailte do thuisimitheoirí ón tseachtain seo chugainn.
The doses for children have already arrived in Ireland, said Professor McGrath, and more will come in the coming months.
Tá na dáileoga do leanaí tagtha go hÉirinn cheana féin, a dúirt an tOllamh Mac Craith, agus beidh tuilleadh fós ag teacht i gcaitheamh na míosa seo chugainn.
A smaller dose than the normal dose of the vaccine given to children.
Tomhas níos lú ná an gnáth-thomhas den vacsaín a thabharfar do na leanaí.
