I guess they looked at the potential 'schools are brainwashing our kids to put poison in them' headlines and decided to avoid that noise!
I did see on the news this morning an 80% take up at a school that was used as a trial which is great news though

Meanwhile in Scotland the 12-15 vaccination plan seems actively designed to circumvent anti-vaxxer parents. Phase 1 is to open drop-ins, phase 2 is to send out appointment letters, and phase 3 is to hold vaccination sessions in schools that will aim to get consent from the kids directly if necessary.
But this is what happens when you elect an authoritarian, centralising, nannying nationalist party to run the country (and I say this as someone who, for once, is inclined to forgive them … we did our infant parenting at the time of the MMR controversy and I’ve seen the damage and heartache scientifically illiterate, loud-mouthed Mumsnetters can do. Frankly the question of whether kids should be vaccinated against covid against their parents’ wishes is overcoming my socially conservative instinct to protect the sanctity of the family unit).
