Covid Advice for Young People
All young people between the ages of 12 and 15 will now be offered a Covid-19 vaccination. Currently the vaccine licensed for children and young people is the Pfizer vaccine. This is the one that you will be given. You will be offered 2 doses of vaccine as part of the school-based COVID-19 vaccination programme.
