Parents across Barnet have been asked for their consent so that their 12 to 15-year-olds can be vaccinated in the coming weeks.
Miri and Gil Benchetrit from Hendon explained why they consented for their 12-year-old daughter to get the COVID-19 vaccine:
“Given the risks of COVID-19 all around us, we foremost want our daughter to be protected. Transmission in schools is very high and it is not fair to let out children live in fear and stress of getting ill or having to isolate. Children and young people have had so much disruption to their lives already and they deserve to live with some reassurance that they have even a degree of immunity.”
The vaccine is primarily being delivered to 12 to 15-year-olds in their schools via NHS-run clinics. Parents have been sent a form to give their consent.
Vaccine info for young people
Everything COVID is a new website for young people, created by young people, that focuses on the issues around the COVID-19 vaccine that matter most to them.
A Haringey radio station is also running a COVID-19 vaccine series for young people in the coming weeks. 'Vax Chat' will begin on Wednesday 20 October, 6pm - 8pm and run at the same time on the subsequent three Wednesdays. The programmes will focus on different vaccine-related themes each week and young people can submit their comments and questions in advance, via social media. Please click here for more information.
