Tianjin plans to administer vaccines to middle and high school students between the ages of 12 and 17 from July to September, according to the Tianjin center for disease control and prevention.
Before vaccination, a minor's legal guardian will be provided with all relevant information to ensure his or her child is informed, consenting and voluntarily vaccinated. The guardian should remain with their child during vaccination, said the center.
Tianjin is expected to carry out mass vaccination for minors in stages and by age, from senior students to those in junior grades. The city's initial plan is to complete the two-dose process in September.
