BREAKING: Government U-Turn on parental consent on Covid vaccines. Chief Medical Officer Chris Witty says, Healthcare professionals will seek parent or carer consent for anyone aged 12-15 to get the #COVID19 vaccine. Witty has highlighted a case law from the 1980’s that says the decision to weigh up consent for children was laid down in law and cannot be overruled by doctors or ministers, a change in the law is required that must go through Parliament.
