Pfizer Vaccine available to 12 to 15-year-olds from Wednesday 1 September

Katrina Kerr-Bell —

Bookings are open now

Of significance is the Government’s decision to make the Pfizer Vaccine available to 12 to 15-year-olds from Wednesday 1 September (with bookings open from tomorrow). Vaccination dates are now available for all people over the age of 40. There is no shortage of vaccines and more sites will be available over the next few days, now is a good time to get vaccinated – you are allowed out, even during Alert Level 4 to get vaccinated!

High levels of vaccination are a prerequisite to a more porous border and to minimise the risk of further and longer lockdowns.
