Mr Zahawi told MPs that the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JVCI) has recommended that children 'at an increased risk of serious COVID-19 disease' should be offered the coronavirus jab, and that the government will take on board this advice.
It means children aged between 12 and 15-years-old with severe neurodisabilities, Down's Syndrome, immunosuppression and multiple or severe learning disabilities will be offered the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
