Brazil's Bolsonaro says daughter, 11, will not get COVID-19 jab

The right-wing leader added that the nation's health minister, Marcelo Queiroga, will divulge on Jan. 5 the manner in which Brazil will carry out its coronavirus vaccination campaign for 5 to 11-year-olds, which was approved earlier this month.
'Children have not been dying in a way that justifies a vaccine for children,' he told reporters in the southern state of Santa Catarina.
