The province has received an additional 125,000 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines for this age range as of Tuesday.

Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz II told reporters, “We hope to reach out to more youngsters for immunization so that we can prepare them for the inauguration of classrooms that are already face-to-face.”
