SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA—Several parents associations in South Korea held protests on Thursday against a vaccine pass mandate for children.

From February, those aged 12 or older will have to show a vaccine pass to enter public spaces, including private tuition centers, libraries, and study cafes. The exemption age is currently 17 years.
