The Chief Epidemiologist has decided to invite the parents of children between the ages of 5 and 11 to have their children vaccinated against COVID-19.

Information for children and adults about the vaccination of children against COVID-19 in multiple languages: covid.is/barn

Vaccinations of elementary school children in the capital area will be conducted in Laugardalshöll between 10. January and 14. January, 2022

Consent/request for vaccination 

This vaccination is always voluntary.

Children must be registered for the vaccination by a parent or a legal guardian. A link to the registration site: skraning.covid.is 

On the page you can:

  • register your child for vaccination
  • authorise others to accompany the child when they come in for a vaccination
  • reject/ postpone vaccination

When a child has been registered for vaccination, a barcode is sent by text message. It is the guardian‘s responsibility to forward the barcode if they wish for someone else to accompany the child to their vaccination. Showing the barcode on the vaccination site is therefore equivalent to giving consent.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your child is specially sensitive and needs more privacy in the vaccination, you must inform the employee who scans at the reception.

Children who are ill or in quarantine on the vaccination day should wait to get vaccinated until they are well, and if the illness is related to COVID-19, then until 3 months after their diagnosis with COVID-19.

Children that have been diagnosed with COVID-19 should not receive a vaccine until 3 months after their day of diagnosis. 

Children with history of anaphylaxis after vaccination or another injected drug should not be vaccinated unless a specialist in allergy medicine determines vaccination can be done safely.

Laugardalshöll will remain open to children who can‘t come at their given time.

If someone arrives without a barcode, the National ID Number will be looked up. That way we will check if vaccination has been requested and who is allowed to accompany the child. In these situations we will ask for identification.

Parents that do not have an electronic ID can come to the information desk at Laugardalshöll to register the child. Legal identification must be presented.

Children who don‘t have an Icelandic National ID Number can be registered for vaccination at bolusetning.covid.is (not up yet, but a link will be published here soon).

Registration for vaccination follows the legislation for clinical records. Only health care workers that work directly with an individual will have access to their personal information. Information is never passed to a third party. Therefore, staff in schools will not receive information about which child is vaccinated and which child isn‘t.

If a child‘s parent rejects/postpones vaccination then the child can go home from school when the children in their school are invited to be vaccinated.

We will begin with vaccinating elementary school children. Then kindergarten children born in 2016 will be invited to receive a vaccination. Kindergarten children born in 2017 will also be invited to receive a vaccination after turning 5 years old. Further information and protocol will be published later on this site and relayed to parents.
