    Thu 20 Oct 2022

    Gloucestershire Health & Care Foundation Trust have asked us to circulate the following information:

     

    COVID vaccines: how to access first or second doses for children aged 5-17

     

    It isn’t too late for children to access a COVID vaccination if they haven’t already completed their course.

     

    Children are eligible for:

    • First or second dose – Children aged 5 to 11 (paediatric dose Pfizer)
    • First or second doses – Children aged 12-17 (Pfizer)
    • Third primary dose – Children aged 5-11 who are severely immunocompromised (paediatric dose Pfizer – 8 weeks after second dose), anyone aged 12+ who is severely immunocompromised (Pfizer – 8 weeks after second dose)
    • Autumn booster - Children aged 5-11 who are severely immunocompromised or household contact of someone immunocompromised (paediatric dose Pfizer – at least 3 months after previous dose), anyone aged 12-17 who is severely immunocompromised or household contact of someone immunocompromised (Pfizer – at least 3 months after previous dose)

    *children aged 5-15 inclusive must wait 12 weeks after a COVID-19 infection to get a vaccination

    **people aged 16 or over must wait four weeks after a COVID-19 infection to get a vaccination

     

    To access a vaccination, contact your GP Practice for advice on how to book an appointment at a local vaccination centre, use the national booking system to get an appointment at a community pharmacy or the JabVan at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital (www.nhs.uk/covidvaccination or call 119), or look out for drop-in clinics on the local COVID information portal.

     

    Please make sure to carefully check eligibility before taking your child to a drop-in clinic; depending on their age they may only have specific vaccines which will not always be available at every clinic.
