Schools and vaccination programmes are going to be launched to try and give support to those who are healthy. It’s being rolled out to try and give support to those who need it and the government have announced that this is the next step in stopping Covid in its tracks. Those that are in this age group are going to be given a single dose of the vaccine and they are going to be offered the Pfizer one if possible. Invitations are going to be sent out next week if possible. The people who are in this age group are going to be offered a single dose of the vaccine and they are also going to require parental consent. Those who work in a nurse agency or those who are part of a nursing recruitment agency are really going to reap the benefits from this because it should lessen the strain that is on the NHS right now. The CMOS have outlined the fact that the benefits of younger people having a jab far outweigh the risks and that this is going to be a great help.

Experts have been asked to provide ministers with advice after the Committee on Vaccination have stated that the benefits of vaccinating healthy kids are just too small when you look at universal vaccination overall. Of course, the consent has to be sought by healthcare professionals before the jab is given as it is being done in line with any existing vaccination programs that are in place right now. Those in this age group would be given their jab and there will be an alternative for those who are being home schooled right now. Children in a specialist mental health setting are also going to be offered alternatives.
