The ESFA has published advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) which says some under 18s can receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Eligible individuals include students aged 16 to 18 years who are employed in, studying or in training for health and social care work or who are clinically extremely vulnerable. The eligibility has also been broadened to include 12 to 15 year olds with specific underlying health conditions or who are healthy but are household contacts of individuals who are immunosuppressed.
