The coronavirus vaccine will be offered to some children aged between six months and four years old in Wales, it has been decided. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has announced that though most children experience coronavirus with no or mild symptoms it poses a threat of severe illness to some.
It therefore has decided to advise that the vaccine be offered to children age between six months to four years in a clinical risk group. The advice is that they should receive two doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
In a statement Wales' health minister Eluned Morgan said: "NHS Wales has been considering arrangements for vaccinating this group of children and further information will be made available to parents of eligible children to invite them to come forward for vaccination."
