Vaccination to be OFFERED to UK 12-15 year olds
Jabber Johnson: this overgrown teenager has had the vaccine already, despite having already been infected. It has been argued that 12-15 year olds may not benefit from vaccination because of previous infection.
Chief Medical Officers in the UK have recommended that people aged between 12 and 15 should be offered the Covid-19 vaccination.
The decision by the four CMOs comes 10 days after the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said it could not recommend adding this age group to those receiving the jabs because of a side effect of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that causes heart inflammation and may lead to palpitations and chest pain.
And children were said to be at such a low risk from the virus that vaccines would offer only a marginal benefit.
But the JCVI said ministers may want to consider wider issues like how vaccination may reduce school disruption.
Crucially, though, it seems the decision will be left to the family. This will not be an attempt to force vaccination on young people.
But if a child and parent are of opposing views and the child is considered competent to decide, the child will have the final say.
That may create a difficult situation in the future.
What else will children be considered competent to decide? On what will they be denied the choice? And how will any discrepancies be justified?

Not content with sowing divisions within race, disability, employment, UK regions, religion, vaccine status and all his other prejudices, now he wants to divide families.
I’m still deeply suspicious about whether this and the adult boosters are based solely on commerce rather than the science, given the disputed views from experts in the field.
