The government awaits data from a major child vaccine study by Oxford University, with conclusions due in June or July, which will dictate the final decision on jabs for children. If the proposal to jab children goes ahead, this would mean 11 million kids could be vaccinated before the start of the autumn term. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesman said 'no decisions have been made on whether children should be offered vaccinations.' If the measures are voted through then England's 1.5 million workers in social care could become legally required to get a coronavirus jab. The paper was drafted by the Department of Health and Social Care and is titled 'Vaccination as a condition of deployment in adult social care and health setting'.
