Covid-19 Vaccination Guide for Parents of 5-11 year olds

Experts have advised that parents of all children aged 5 to 11 years should be offered the chance to have their child vaccinated.

Accordingly, the NHS will be offering coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines to all children aged 5 to 11 years. Vaccination is particularly important for children who have health conditions that put them at high risk from COVID-19, as the benefits are greater.

Parents will receive information offering them the chance to make an appointment for their child to be vaccinated. These appointments will be available from April 2022 over the Easter holidays and further slots will become available later.
