COVID-19: 12 to 15-year-olds to get 'final say' over COVID jab if disagreement with parent occurs
Sky News understands ministers are optimistic that COVID-19 vaccines will be offered to all 12 to 15-year-olds despite advisers failing to recommend it.
Sources say the government is keen to offer vaccinations to all children in that age group - and think parents would find it reassuring.
Sometimes the bias leaps out at us like a hyperactive pantomime dame.
Ministers are optimistic about vaccinating children even though advisers failed to recommend it. Maybe the optimism of ministers offsets the failure of advisers, although trying to make sense of any of it is an uphill task. As for the anonymous Sources, they seem to think it is all very reassuring.
It isn't.

My youngest has just started secondary school. We have signed a little document saying how we agree to support his learning by working in partnership with the school: encourage reading, get him to do homework, provide proper uniform and kit, etc.
But now the government are saying that children can make up their own minds and they will support them against the will of parents. So why can't they make up their own minds over things like laziness, dress code, swearing, smoking, and whether they attend school or not?
SV: whether they attend school or not?
Money. Kids are a funding source: thats all school management are bothered about.
Sam - sounds like another reason to opt for home schooling, although presumably that escape route could be squeezed out by bureaucracy.
Jannie - I'm sure you are right. Money seems to be why GPs are so keen on mass vaccination.
