All UK children aged 12 and over are the set be offered one dose of the Covid vaccine after the four chief medical officers for the UK have recommended that all children aged 12 to 15 years old should be offered one dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine.
The recommendation comes after the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said the vaccine only offered a “marginal” health benefit and therefore could not be recommended on health grounds alone.
The Chief Medical Officers advised that children aged 12 to 15 are only offered one dose of the Pfizer jab for now with parents being asked to give consent before their child is vaccinated.
