the department of universal and Public health has summoned 163,870 young people and adolescents from 19 to 16 years old this week to be vaccinated against CoVid-19. in those vaccination centres where the age groups are smaller and the process is more advanced, people aged 15-14 will also be vaccinated. in the next seven days, a total
