Parents and carers of children aged between five and 11 years will be able to book a COVID-19 vaccine for them in England from Saturday. The country바카라s National Health Service (NHS) opened bookings as part of its next phase of COVID-19 vaccine rollout, with appointments available at hundreds of sites starting on Monday. The NHS said it is making the vaccine available for the age group following updated guidance from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which recommended all children would benefit from a non-urgent offer of the vaccine, making almost 5 million eligible for the latest rollout. 바카라From today, parents of almost 5 million 5- to 11-year-olds can book their little ones in for a vaccine, ensuring they get their first dose of protection and helping to protect against potential future waves of COVID-19,바카라 said Dr Nikki Kanani, the Indian-origin deputy lead for the NHS COVID-19 Vaccination Programme. 바카라Vaccines remain the best defence we have against the virus 바카라 my 13-year-old son has had his two vaccinations and I바카라ll be booking my 10-year old daughter in for hers at the earliest opportunity, and would encourage all parents to read the NHS information available and consider doing the same,바카라 she said. The NHS said it has already been vaccinating children aged five to 11 years who have medical conditions that put them at increased risk from COVID-19 or who live with someone with a weakened immune system, and more than three in five 12 to 15-year-olds have also come forward for a jab.
