Covid vaccination - latest
news
Children aged 5 to 11 who are clinically
extremely vulnerable or household contacts of
people who are severely immunosuppressed are
being offered two doses of a paediatric version
of the Pfizer (Comirnaty) Covid-19 vaccine.
Parents and carers of children in this position
have been contacted by their consultant, GP or
national letter with information about how to
book a vaccination at a dedicated clinic. Full
details of eligibility can be found in the Joint
Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation
guidance here, in

It has been announced that from April, all
children aged 5 to 11 will be offered a Covid-19
vaccine. In our area, children in this age group
will be invited to have their vaccine in a
dedicated clinic outside school hours, they will
not be vaccinated through the school
immunisation programme. Our local NHS
vaccination programme will provide more
information on how to book an appointment,
nearer the time at www.grabajab.net.
