Really concerned about the *huge* delays in COVID-19 childhood vaccination in England. After JCVI's announcement that 5-11 yr olds from vulnerable households would be eligible for vaccination *2 months ago*, these are still not being offered where I live (spoke to the CCG today).
They have no date for when it'll start here. Despite the announcement yesterday, given the shambolic roll-out so far both in 12-15 yr olds & CV 5-11 yr olds, I feel very little hope that anything will happen in actual terms anytime soon. Esp with messaging that it's 'non-urgent'
With huge amounts of help from motivated parents, I've finally managed to book my daughter in at a clinic hours away, but these vaccines are largely inaccessible to parents whose kids have been eligible for months now. When did kids become the lowest priority in our society?
Contrast the way we rolled out boosters in adults during the omicron surge with the way childhood vaccination has been managed. It's astonishing.
