COVID-19 vaccines for 12 to15-year-olds

The past two years have been very difficult for everyone and young people have had a lot of disruption to their education and their lives.

The Government has now removed remaining restrictions as part of its Living with COVID-19 plan. However, the virus is still with us and vaccination is our best defence against Omicron and any future variants that may arise.

More than two million doses of the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine have now been given to young people aged 12 to 15, protecting them and their families.

Vaccination UK has now completed visiting all secondary schools in Haringey to administer second doses of the vaccine as well as first doses to those who missed out during the autumn term.

If for whatever reason your child missed out on their vaccination at school, you can get your child vaccinated at vaccine clinics in Haringey. You can book a first or second appointment for your child 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.
