COVID vaccinations for children aged 5-11
You may be aware that Covid vaccinations are now available for vulnerable children aged 5-11. To get an invitation, your child must be known to your GP for one or more of the following reasons:
Be on the GP’s learning disability register
severe neurodisabilities
immunosuppression – those whose immune systems don’t work as well and
those who live with someone who is immunosuppressed
profound and multiple or severe learning disabilities
Down’s syndrome
long term serious conditions affecting their body
If your GP is not aware of your child, please do contact them and find more information in the leaflet below.
We are also sharing the results of a survey conducted with the NNPCF about the low take up of vaccinations among children with additional needs.
