“The procurement of COVID-19 vaccines has been one of the great achievements for Belize. Throughout all the uncertainties of COVID-19, there is the certainty that the COVID-19 vaccine protects against severe disease and death. The Pfizer vaccine is the only available vaccine for the five to eleven-year-old. This group has remained unprotected against severe COVID until now.”
