More than 1.9 million doses of the life-saving COVID-19 vaccine have now been given to young people aged 12 to 15, protecting them and their families. The virus has not gone away. Infection rates are high. Young people are missing out on their education, work and their lives because of COVID-19-related illness. And we are still learning about the long-term damage the virus can do.
The NHS has now made it easier for young people to get the vaccine.
Vaccination UK is visiting all secondary schools in the borough to administer second doses of the vaccine and first doses to those who missed out during autumn term.
Alternatively, you can book a first or second appointment for your child at vaccination clinics in Haringey, by calling 119 or visiting www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination.
Children aged 12 to 15 who are at high risk from COVID-19 infection, or live with someone who is immunosuppressed, can now get a booster dose, 91 days (3 months) after their second dose. Visit www.nhs.uk/covid-booster for more information.
