1/🇬🇧 The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation #JCVO has decided to invite another 200,000 12 to 15-year-olds with underlying health problems for Covid vaccines.

However, has stopped short of extending it to all teenagers.
2/ Instead, health ministers from all 4 devolved Parliaments in the UK will ask their Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) to decide. They will consider the impact on education which the JCVI did not.
3/ This means that approximately 350,000 12 to 15-year-olds with underlying health conditions will now be eligible for vaccination.

The JCVI experts did say the benefits to children do "marginally outweigh the risks" but that stopped short of recommending universal vaccination.4
