One highly motivated student from the British School of Bahrain was lucky enough to hold the magic 001 ticket. The first child under the age of 12 to be vaccinated with Pfizer in Bahrain.

The Executive Headmaster of the British School of Bahrain, Mr John Maguire, stated:

“We are enormously proud of Layth for being brave enough to take the vaccine. Through his actions, Layth showed the school’s values of courage, community, and determination. We are sure many of his peers will quickly follow in his footsteps. Well done, Layth”.

Layth, a Year 5 student at the British School of Bahrain, said that he was pleasantly surprised that the vaccine did not hurt and all and the process was very fast. He commented that the Bahrain medical team were so kind and welcoming to him.
