Royal College of Paediatrics says GPs in dark about how and when young people to be vaccinated
UK paediatricians have expressed alarm about a “shambolic” vaccine rollout for children, saying doctors were being “left in the dark” about plans for the programme and unable to answer questions from patients.
Doctors and school leaders have called for clarity on how the rollout will operate, as scientific advice to the government warned significant school resources may be required. The decision on Wednesday to announce that the rollout would be extended to all over 16s is understood to have caught some NHS leaders off-guard.
