"Take it easy, don't be afraid, it's very quick," a nurse told a child before injecting the COVID-19 vaccine into his arm at a temporary vaccination site on Longhua Rd E. in Huangpu District on Saturday morning.

Such scenes occurred around the city over the weekend as children aged 6-11 began to receive their first jabs, accompanied by their parents or guardians.

According to the district health commission, more than 2,000 students from nine local schools made appointments to be vaccinated at the site on Longhua Rd E. on Saturday. To cope with children of such a young age group, pediatricians and psychologists were on standby.
