(Picture: PA Archive)Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi has said the Government is yet to decide whether to vaccinate healthy 12 to 15-year-olds against coronavirus.
He told Sky’s Trevor Phillips on Sunday: “We have not made any decisions, so we haven’t decided not to listen to the experts.
“On the contrary, all four ministers, the Secretary of State Sajid Javid and his fellow ministers in the devolved administrations have agreed to ask the chief medical officers to convene expert groups, including the JCVI being in that, to be able to recommend which way we should go on healthy 12 to 15-year-olds.”
