The NHS was told to start planning for autumn booster jabs for the over 50s by the JCVR.
There has been no announcement regarding if or when teenagers in the UK will be receiving a vaccine, which is essential if the country is to achieve herd immunity.
An analysis by Sky News has found that half of European countries have decided to jab under 18s.
Sky’s science correspondent Thomas Moore has this assessment.

Texas, Florida and Sweden don’t follow stupid Covid rules. Why should the rest of the world?
That was a rhetorical question.
Stay away from young people
I’m 21 so maybe not a teen but I won’t be ever getting a vaccine. I don’t need it plus I don’t trust it. I’m going to get on with my life.
I wonder what is genuinely more important in this fight against Covid. Vaccinating our whole population even those who are incredibly low risk vs sending out these vaccinations to poorer countries who are struggling to get people who actually need it vaccinated.
I don’t understand why we are vaxing people who are of such low risk, we’ve covered those who actually need it and yet we’re deciding to just keep jabbing ourselves in the arm while there are other people out there who actually need the vax, seems crazy.
