Although one of the countries with the fastest vaccination campaign in the world, he was slow and cautious when injecting vaccines for teenagers.

Although rarely suffering from severe illness, the group of teenagers can still infect the virus and spread to grandparents, parents, increasing the risk of spreading in the community, especially with the Delta transformation.

Nearly 90% of adults in the UK were injected at least one dose and over 3/4 of the adult population injecting nose sufficiency, while the US rate was 75% and 64% respectively.

The risk of low severe progress in the group of young people when Covid-19 and the safety concerns of the vaccine in many other countries are the reason why he hesitate to vaccinate the group under 18 years of age.

The US started vaccination for children 12 years or older from May. France also began vaccinated for this age group since mid-June, with more than 50% of children aged 12-17 injected at least one dose.

He was slow in this race.

The Council recommends Healthy 16-17-year-old people should be quickly injected at least one dose as a precautionary approach.

Teenagers waited outside a vaccine of Covid-19 vaccination in London on August 5.

This change shows that JCVI has partly reduced concerns about the rare side effects of Pfizer vaccines, which are relevant to cases of heart attack inflammation and non-heart membrane inflammation, especially in young men.

Many scientists he said that the government was too cautious.

This reflects a misconception that teenagers are at least risk before Covid-19, while ignoring the long-term complications of the virus with them, Martin McKee, Professor of Public Health at Tropical Medicine School

Germany initially chose the same approach to him but changed, when agreed to recommend injections for people from 12-17 years last month.

With many epidemics, vaccinations for children are also considered a beneficial solution for other age groups.

This is just an example of the whole society to share risks for a group of age to gain benefits to the community, Adam Ratner, the infectious disease doctor showing off in New York, saying.

Many managers in the UK are also concerned that the government is too cautious with Vaccine Covid-19, which can affect other important vaccination plans for teenagers.

We are worried that they begin to deny vaccine HPV, brain or tetanus vaccines, a person who knows about JCVI discussions.
