Vaccinations for 12 -15 year olds
Created: 15/09/2021Children and young people aged 12 -15 years old will be offered a dose of the COVID-19 vaccination from Monday 20 September after Scottish Ministers accepted advice from the four UK Chief Medical Officers (CMOs).
As a result, a dose of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will be offered to all children and young people aged 12-15 who are not already covered by existing advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) in a move to reduce the disruption caused to education by COVID-19.
This group will be offered their injections in drop-in clinics and community settings followed by each young person receiving a letter inviting them to attend a community clinic.
NHS Fife will provide an update on what this means for Fife's young people soon.
