The UK’s official advisory body on vaccines will not recommend the government extend its CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccination programme to under-18s, a cabinet minister said on Wednesday.
Asked about the issue of vaccinating children against COVID-19 on the BBC’s “Breakfast” programme, International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said that “the government will look very closely at the JCVI’s recommendations,” referring to the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
