An estimated 75 percent of eligible Samoan children between the ages of 12 and 17 have been given their first dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine.
Teams from the Ministry of Health have been going to schools across the country to administer the doses.
Director General of Health Leausa Take Naseri says they have had great support from schools and parents, and after two weeks they are in a good position.
The Ministry staff are now preparing to administer the second dosage of Pfizer to the nearly 28-thousand eligible children.
