Children aged 5-11 will no longer be offered Covid jabs, except those in clinical risk groups, UKHSA confirms
The decision to reduce the number of children who are offered Covid jabs has prompted outcry from parent groups and academics.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said children who had not turned five by the end of last month would not be offered a vaccination. The agency said the offer of Covid jabs to healthy five to 11-year-olds was always meant to be temporary.
