To get vaccinated?
Haven't seen any official guidance on this, or any threads on here.

Keep in mind the 15 minutes wait afterwards and that people do tend to keel over in the area from time to time, so you may want to sit in a corner and be ready with an explanation. Also, one one occasion, we ran very late and people were waiting over an hour. But that is rare.

People tend to keel over!? How often and why?

Where I volunteer, children are fine. If they're older or there are a few of them, they tend to be asked to wait outside the pod until the jab is done, but can queue with the parent for consenting and the queue for the vaccine itself. If the child is v small and the queue is long, we sometimes put them at the front but there's no hard and fast rule. People with buggies and tiny babies get sent to a big private pod and skip the queue.

I queued for about 45 minutes before my jab and waited 15 mins after - there was no seating (unless you were elderly, pregnant or injured/disabled) so it was standing in a long, socially distanced queue.

I'd advise not bringing kids as they'd be bored stiff!
