THE NHS has confirmed that Covid vaccination sites have been launched in the East Riding of Yorkshire for children aged five to 11.

The Covid jabs are being offered to five to 11-year-olds with no underlying health conditions. Letters from the NHS are being sent to parents or guardians in the local authority inviting them to book their child’s first vaccine.
