GEMS schools in the UAE have announced that they are offering the vaccine to their students who are from the ages of 12 to 15

The National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) have shared the details from yesterday’s COVID media briefing.

Despite the low number of positive cases among children, vaccination is very important due to the return of students to schools next year. Our message to parents is to trust that vaccination will help all of us feel safe & maintain the health & safety of our children.

NCEMA shared on Twitter.

GEMS schools have made it their mission to ensure that their students are safe from COVID-19 by offering in-school vaccinations. They stated that students can schedule an appointment with their GEMS school to receive the jab starting today.

NCEMA further stated that “child vaccination is a fundamental issue, as it will relieve the burden on parents whose children are still pursuing remote learning. Therefore, we call upon parents to take the initiative to vaccinate their children, in order to ensure their health and safety.”

We’re proud to announce that our students aged 12+ now have access to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Because at #GEMSEducation we choose to vaccinate – for the health and safety of our students, their families, our staff and for the country! pic.twitter.com/VvI90la6ld
