Significant? i m not dismissing it, the science, but i m saying we have to look beyond the science and we have the reassurance is the science is in place but it s the other aspects as well and that s disruption to education which has had such damage to young people in particular the most disadvantaged communities, and if this is a way of giving them a sense that we, the adults, can now focus on doing the most important thing, helping them to catch up, that will be a good news story. d0 to catch up, that will be a good news story- to catch up, that will be a good news story. to catch up, that will be a good news sto . l, , l, news story. do you want parents to be asked for news story. do you want parents to be asked for their news story. do you want parents to be asked for their consent - news story. do you want parents to be asked for their consent or - news story. do you want parents to | be asked for their consent or should be asked for their consent or should be done to the 12 15 year olds to make up their own minds? mi; make up their own minds? ii understanding is make up their own minds? ii1: understanding is it s make up their own minds? ii1 understanding is it s parents consent ultimately that fits into this equally i had the skills minister and vaccine minister last week saying because of the gillick principle young people in some circumstances could trump all of that. all of that sounds to be incredibly complicated and i think i would make two points around that, first of all, the office for national statistics survey suggested 86% of young people and parents were saying they d support this so i
This is bbc news. fight back i am the chris barack i am lukwesa burak. the headlines: covid vaccines for 12 15 year olds are approved by the four uk chief medical officers. they say it would mean fewer children will have their education disrupted. one dose of the pfizer jab will be offered we re expecting to hear from the chief medical officers in an hour s time. nearly one in three people arriving in england and northern ireland, in england and northern ireland may have broken the rules on travel quarantine, at a time when the delta variant was spreading. the nhs starts trials of a revolutionary new blood test that detects more than 50 types of cancer before the patient has any symptoms. the bbc obtains new evidence
Top of that is the alert to the impact of other respiratory viruses, not least of all flu, and by the government s own admission, there is already significant pressure on the nhs. is what we will hear by the prime minister is a real push for the vaccine programme, we know that the vaccine programme, we know that the government sees that as an enormous success in the united kingdom. we are expecting to see more about the possibility of booster jabs and more about the possibility of boosterjabs and we are also still waiting on advice to the government which will lead to a decision about the possibility of vaccinations for 12-15 the possibility of vaccinations for 12 15 year olds in the united kingdom as well. the government is going to repeal some of the powers it has had over the last 15 16 months about things like closing down education. it wants to ensure that only absolute necessary powers will be retained. and this will happen as we approach the next period and we know they want to avoid another lockdown and the health secretary said he doesn t want that to be on the cards at all

For every one million first doses given to healthy 12 15 year olds, it is estimated they will save two admissions to intensive care, and 87 admissions to hospital. 0n the risk, there will be between three and 17 cases of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, which could also be triggered by covid. which can also be triggered by covid, include chest pain, shortness of breath and palpitations. but these are mostly mild and short lived. after so much toing and froing on this issue, what do parents make of it? we ve got a daughter who s nearly 1a, so we have no problem with getting her vaccinated. i m not sure, i really don t know. at the moment, i d probably say no. it s a contentious issue, but i think it should be compulsory to have vaccinations l across all age groups. from the young to the old, a programme of third boosterjabs will be confirmed tomorrow, initially for the over 705, starting with care home residents. the aim, to counter any whining of immunity and give the maximum protection over winter to those most
