Adolescent vaccinations – registration from May 17

From May 17, people aged 19 and 16 will be able to sign up for the COVID-17 vaccination. Teenagers will be vaccinated using a preparation from Pfizer / BioNTech.

– Specialists say that it is necessary to vaccinate as much of the population as possible as soon as possible. Following research by Pfizer, which confirms the possibility of vaccinating 16 and 17-year-olds, we want to make vaccination available to the younger part of our society, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said a few days ago.

On Friday, Health Minister Adam Niedzielski announced that the regulation on this subject would be published in the evening of that day.

– On Sunday, we want to provide a new form, because this form for children, i.e. for people aged 16-18 must have an additional element in the form of parental consent and there is a separate section devoted to this consent, where you must enter basic data and provide information about consent – explained the minister.

He recalled that the registration for teenagers is scheduled to start on Monday. – I recommend that all interested persons go to the website of the Ministry of Health and download this form in order to prepare for vaccination, and of course register on Monday – he added.

1. When will you get the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine? [UPDATE]

Earlier, Niedzielski announced. that persons aged 16-17 years need the consent of their parents or guardians to be vaccinated, but their presence will no longer be necessary at the time of vaccination.

Teen vaccinations – what exactly will the records look like?

Exactly what the teen enrollment process will look like. We asked the health department for details. Here’s what we found out.

«E-referral for vaccination for a child will be visible on the child’s profile on IKP of the parent who registered the child for insurance.

From May 17, a teenager can register for vaccinations by:

1. free helpline of the National Immunization Program: 989
2. by contacting the selected vaccination point – Find a vaccination point
3. by sending an SMS to the number 664 908 556 or 880 333 333 with the following text: SzczepimySie
4. through e-registration available on the home page of patient.gov.pl. You should choose the fast path of e-registration, enter the PESEL number and the child’s name, provide the telephone number to which confirmations will be received and select the date of vaccination »- we read in the e-mail received from the Ministry of Health Communication.

Gardens by the premises are resuming their activities. However, we must follow the rules

So it looks like the registration of teenagers will be done in the same way as it has been done so far.

Adolescent vaccinations – complete the questionnaire

– On Monday, registration for vaccinations against COVID-19 for people aged 16-17 starts – says Deputy Minister of Health Anna Goławska.

– You must complete the “Pre-screening interview questionnaire before vaccinating a minor against COVID-19” prior to visiting a vaccination center. It will be available for download from Sunday at www.gov.pl/szczepimysie. We encourage you to download the form in advance and sign it by your legal guardian. Of course, if someone does not have a printed questionnaire with them, they will receive it to be completed at the Vaccination Center. Then the minor will have to come to the vaccination with a legal guardian who agrees to provide benefits – explains Gocławska.

«The questionnaire for the initial screening interview before vaccinating a minor against COVID-19 is completed in the case of vaccination of a person who is under 18 years of age on the day of vaccination. It is filled in by the vaccinated person and their legal guardian.

The version of the questionnaire for minors includes an addition to the consent of the legal guardian to vaccinate the minor. In the case of vaccination of a person over 16 years of age the questionnaire also requires a signature expressing consent to vaccination against COVID-19 ″ – we also read on the government’s vaccination website.
