Lower dose of Pfizer available to clinically vulnerable children aged 5-11 next year
It's better to have a vaccine available for clinically vulnerable children aged 5-11 than not.
That's the message from the Island's health minister after a lower dose of the Pfizer vaccine was approved for use in those in the age group at higher risk from Covid-19.
Full details of the plan to roll out the vaccine will be announced in the New Year - parents of those eligible are asked not to contact 111 to book until more details, including dates for the rollout, have been confirmed.
While Lawrie Hooper admits some parents may have concerns, he says the vaccine is beneficial:
Boutique hotel planned for Peel
Former TT rider's family at risk of losing house after rejected insurance pay out
Dog wash machine planned for promenade
Businesses can bloom if people support local
