The committee decision on when to begin the COVID-19 vaccination rollout for school students, as well as which grades to open first, will be discussed today, according to Health Minister Kehaliya Rambukwella.
He stated that conversations would take place with the goal of reopening schools.
As a result, the choice will be made to launch the COVID immunization campaign from pre-school to grade six or from grade 12 to 13.
