Another chance for 12-15 year olds to get vaccinated against COVID-19

In recent weeks, NHS teams have been visiting schools to offer protection against coronavirus through vaccination.

Any 12-15 year old child who has missed out on vaccination, for whatever reason, is now being offered another chance to get their COVID jab.

Parents in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington can book their child in for a vaccination appointment using the NHS National Booking System.

Even if you have previously declined the vaccine for your child, the NHS will still be happy to vaccinate them now if you book them in for a jab. You don’t need to be registered with a GP, and we won’t ask any questions about your family’s employment or immigration status.

If your child has yet to be offered the COVID-19 vaccine at school, you will be notified and if you wish for your child to get vaccination, please ensure that you complete the necessary consent form.

Please note that any child who has recently tested positive for COVID-19 will need to wait 28 days since their positive test before they can get vaccinated.

When you come for your appointment, you will need to bring:

• Details of an emergency contact
• Face coverings, which both parent and child should wear at all times unless exempt for health / disability reasons
• Your child’s NHS number if they have one
• Please note that due to space constraints, only 1 parent or guardian can attend the appointment

Appointments will be available from Thursday 21 October for unvaccinated 12-15 year olds at sites across Haringey and nearby boroughs.

Please note Appointments and vaccine locations are being added all the time, so if you can’t book an appointment that’s convenient for you on your first visit to the NHS National Booking System, please check back later.
