The MHRA have concluded the Pfizer vaccine is safe and effective for 12-15 year olds. The JCVI are playing politics with the decision.

Dr June Raine, MHRA Chief Executive said:
“We have carefully reviewed clinical trial data in children aged 12 to 15 years and have concluded that the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective in this age group and that the benefits of this vaccine outweigh any risk.

Otherwise we just go round and round.
