Can I have the vaccine?

The coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines are safe and effective.

Two doses are being offered to children aged 12 to 15 to give them the best protection against COVID-19. 12 to 15 year olds can receive their 2nd dose either at a walk-in site or by booking an appointment via the NBS providing it has been 12 weeks since their 1st dose.

This includes children who turn 12 on the date of their vaccination.

2nd doses will be offered in schools from 10 January 2022. Children who have not yet had a vaccine can get their 1st dose during these vaccination sessions

Where can I get the vaccine?

If you are aged between 12 and 15, you can access your vaccine in a few different ways.
