United Kingdom government vaccine advisers recommended that booster jabs be offered to 16-17 year-olds as the number of coronavirus cases in the UK has increased by 238,350 or 58.9% in the past seven days.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said the vaccination should be given to children at higher risk of Covid-19, report BBC.
The JCVI recommendation came as UK regulators approved the new age-appropriate formulation of the vaccine for use in children aged five to 11.
