The Ministry of Health is pleased to announce that Bermuda will soon begin administering the pediatric doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5-11.
“I encourage parents that have children in this age group and have not registered them to be vaccinated to do so as soon as possible,” said Minister of Health, Kim Wilson, JP, MP.
“Parents should first register their child on gov.bm/vaccines and then contact their paediatrician to register an interest in getting the vaccine, and they will be directed from there. If your child does not have a paediatrician contact the Hamilton Health Centre on 332-8906 for assistance in scheduling an appointment.
If you have questions, please contact vaccine@gov.bm or call 444-2498 and select Option #2.

Do the research, talk with your doctor and make an informed decision about getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
