Latest Coronavirus guidance for children

The NHS is offering coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines to children aged 5 to 11 years.

Experts have advised that parents of all children aged 5 to 11 years should be offered the chance to have their child vaccinated.

Vaccination is particularly important for children who have health conditions that put them at high risk from COVID-19, as the benefits are greater.For more information follow the link below

You should seek medical advice urgently if your child experiences:

  • chest pain
  • shortness of breath
  • feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart

If you are worried about your child call NHS 111 (or call 18001 111 on a textphone) or go to the NHS 111 website.

Make sure you tell them about the vaccination your child has received or show them your child’s record card.

If you think they have had a serious side effect from the vaccine you can report it using the Coronavirus Yellow Card scheme.
