UK government no longer offers COVID-19 vaccine to under 12 years

In a UK Green Book update on September 5, 2022, the UK government no longer offer COVID-19 vaccination to children aged 5-11, except those in clinical risk groups.  Under 12’s are no longer being injected, allegedly for “developmental” concerns. [1, 2, 4]

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says this is line with advice published by the UK’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) back in February 2022. [3]
