Pfizer vaccine for 12-15 year olds: Your questions answered
One of the coronavirus vaccinations, which has already been given to millions of adults in the UK, has now been approved for 12 to 15 year olds. But that doesn't necessarily mean the Pfizer jab will now be given to children. We put your questions to an expert.
The Pfizer coronavirus vaccine has been approved for 12 to 15 year-olds in Britain. The UK's medicine regulator, the MHRA, says the injections are "safe and effective" for children in that age group and that the "benefits far outweigh any risk". However, a final decision on whether children will or won't receive the jab hasn't been made yet.

Correction: This video has been amended to remove a reference by a contributor that the Pfizer vaccine is “100% safe”. The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has said:
“We have carefully reviewed clinical trial data in children aged 12 to 15 years and have concluded that the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective in this age group and that the benefits of this vaccine outweigh any risk.
“We have in place a comprehensive safety surveillance strategy for monitoring the safety of all UK-approved COVID-19 vaccines and this surveillance will include the 12- to 15-year age group.
“No extension to an authorisation would be approved unless the expected standards of safety, quality and effectiveness have been met.
“It will now be for the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to advise on whether this age group will be vaccinated as part of the deployment programme.”
