Children between the ages of 5 and 11 will be offered a weaker dose of the Biontech/Pfizer vaccine, compared to children over 12.

Children aged between 5 and 11 may now be vaccinated in one of three vaccine centres: Victor Hugo Hall in Limpertsberg, Esch-Belval, and Ettelbruck.

The dosage for this age group is just a third of a normal dose. Children must be accompanied by a legal guardian. Appointments can be made online using the website  www.impfen.lu and will require the child's social security number.

Paediatricians will also be able to administer the jab to children in this age group. A list of paediatricians offering the Covid vaccine will be published on impfen.lu shortly.

Please note: children may not be vaccinated at the pop-up walk-in centres.
