On 22 December 2021, the Government accepted advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation that children aged five to 11 years old who are in a clinical risk group or who are a household contact of someone who is immunosuppressed should be offered a primary course of COVID-19 vaccination. The National Health Service is preparing for deployment to begin by the end of January 2022. Children and their parents will be contacted by the NHS locally and offered appointments. Further advice regarding COVID-19 vaccination for other five to 11 year olds will be issued following consideration of additional data.
