Children will be offered a smaller dose of the Pfizer vaccine

The priority groups are children who have a health condition that puts them at higher risk of severe illness from Covid-19, or if they live with a child or an adult who has complex medical needs, or is immunocompromised.

Dr Lucy Jessop, Director of the National Immunisation Office, said: "For all other children in this age group, severe illness from Covid-19 is rare, but it can happen. The recommendation is that the benefits of vaccination are greater than the risks from the vaccine.". The paediatric doses are a third of the quantity of the vaccine administered to people aged over 12, as recommended by the European Medicines Agency and the National Immunisation Advisory Committee .Around 480,000 primary school children will be offered the vaccine.

You shouldn't offer anything to kids you should approach their parents or gardians & provide a balanced & informed set of documentation detailing long term effects short term effects & long & short term benefits. You should then wait for the parents concent in writing to proceed.

What is the safe amount per year for children and adults to take per year ? can anyone anywhere answer? 4 dose? 6? If you get Covid does that alter the safe amount ? 🦠 💉
