When vaccinating against COVID-19 for children aged 12 - 17, which cases must be delayed and cautious?

According to its instructions on amending and supplementing the guidelines for screenings before vaccination against COVID-19 for children, the Ministry of Health stated that, following screening procedures, children with no abnormalities and no contraindications to vaccination according to the manufacturer's instructions will be vaccinated immediately.

In particular, vaccination of the same type is contraindicated when there is a clear history of anaphylaxis to the previous COVID-19 vaccine or components of the vaccine.

Children with advanced acute and chronic diseases are subject to delayed immunisation.

Those with a history of allergy to any allergen, and perceptual and behavioral disturbances must be vaccinated against COVID-19 with a high caution.

Also, screening examination and vaccination must be conducted at hospital for children with congenital diseases and chronic diseases of the heart, lungs, digestive and urinary system, blood, abnormal heart or lung auscultation, grade 3 or higher anaphylaxis with any allergen.
