Do the benefits of corona vaccination outweigh the risks for young people between the ages of 12 and 15? The British Vaccination Commission is apparently not convinced of this.
The British Vaccination Commission (JCVI) has surprisingly spoken out against nationwide corona vaccinations for 12 to 15 year olds.
Although the commission expanded its vaccination recommendation for children and adolescents of this age group with heart, lungs and liver disease, it did not want to make a general vaccination recommendation. The reason for this was a statement from Public Health England on Friday that the health benefits of vaccination were marginal for healthy people of this age group. In addition, the commission referred to indications of a connection between myocardial inflammation and mRNA vaccines, the long-term effects of which cannot yet be assessed.
So far, the Commission’s recommendation has only been to vaccinate 12 to 15-year-olds if they fall into the group of people who are particularly at risk from Covid-19. This includes, for example, people with suppressed immune systems.
Just a week earlier, the British Ministry of Health had announced that it was preparing for the nationwide vaccination of 12 to 15-year-olds in most of England. It was initially unclear whether the government would follow the recommendation of the vaccination commission.
The chief medical advisors of the four parts of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are now to make a final recommendation that, in addition to individual health, also includes other aspects such as the maintenance of the school.
