Yep! 14yr old son having his next Friday in school.

DS 15 had his Covid vaccine on Friday but missed out on the flu one as they were wrongly told the DC could consent themselves

My daughter 13 is fully vaccinated, I'm in Ireland, they started on the 12-16 age group. In August.

I’m same area as you OP and 14 (year 10) DS has had his appt through for October. 13 year old DD hasn’t had a letter yet though.

Nope not even a sniff of it! We are in Gloucestershire.

They are starting next week apparently. Have heard nothing for ds who is clinically vulnerable and should have been offered an appointment long before now.

Yep, living in Ireland. Over 90% of over 12's have had at least one shot so far. 😊

We're in Gloucestershire too and nothing yet...

I'm ok with having a bit more time to think about it though. I'm torn as to what's best for DS age 12 but leaning towards advising him to consent, although don't feel entirely comfortable with it.

SE England, letter says within 6 weeks, combined flu and vaccine sprays.

Itawapuddytat · 26/09/2021 13:29

DS had his yesterday ( walk in). East Renfrewshire, Scotland.

Nootkah · 26/09/2021 16:19

Seems like more areas have started than not!

My 13yo has his on Tuesday alongside his flu spray. I only found out on Friday.
