With the world's highest COVID-19 mortality rate, Peruvians have suffered more than most in the pandemic.
And with the Omicron variant causing a sharp increase in infections, children are hit hard.
Schools are shut, and many have fallen victim to the disease.
But millions as young as five-year-old are now eligible to get vaccinated.
The health minister says the number of children who test positive for COVID-19 is likely to rise.
Health authorities have warned they are close to issuing a red alert, as there are only a few ICU beds left for children in the country.

Al Jazeera’s Mariana Sanchez reports from the capital, Lima.
