All children in England aged five to 11 are to be offered two doses of a Covid vaccine, Sajid Javid announced on Wednesday.
The Health Secretary accepted the advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to make a “non-urgent offer” from April for youngsters in this age group to have two 10mcg doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech paediatric vaccine, with a gap of at least 12 weeks between them.
