Petition Details

Offer the covid vaccine to 5-11 year old as other countries are doing. It has been approved in the USA among others, and we should have the choice to give our children protection if we want to.

Additional Information

The USA among other countries has granted approval to give the Pfizer microdose to 5-11 year old age group and the UK should allow parents to make that choice too. It has been proven to help with long covid symptoms, help children get back to their regular activities, clubs, social life and family visits - especially with vulnerable family members.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about approving Covid-19 vaccines for particular age groups are an operational matter are a matter for Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
