COVID-19 Vaccine for children aged 5-11 years
Some children aged 5-11 can get a 1st and 2nd dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine if either:
- they have a condition that means they’re at high risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19
- they love with someone who has a weakened Immune system.
Parents and guardians will get an invitation from a local NHS service such as a GP surgery or a hospital specialist to make an appointment for their child.
A small number of walk-in COVID-19 Vaccination sites are also offering the vaccine to children aged 5-11. You’ll need to take the letter, email or text inviting your child for their vaccine.
