Babies and toddlers who are clinically vulnerable are to be offered a vaccine, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised.
Eligible children aged six months to four years old would recieve two doses of the vaccine, with an interval of 8 to 12 weeks between doses. NHS England has confirmed it will begin offering vaccinations to those eligible in England from mid-June.
Parents should wait to be contacted before coming forward. The JCVI does not currently advise COVID-19 vaccination of children aged six months to four years who are not in a clinical risk group.
