All 5- to 11-year-olds in Wales and Scotland will be offered vaccination against the CCP virus—the virus that causes COVID-19, ministers said on Tuesday.

The announcements came ahead of the publication of recommendations from the UK’s vaccination advisory group that’s reportedly delayed by the UK government.
