Reason for vaccinating 12-15

I was listening to Maajid Nawaz yesterday and he said his personal belief for why the government will want to override the JCVI decision not to vaccinate healthy 12-15 year olds is because he thinks the government will want to introduce domestic vaccine passports and they can’t restrict 12 plus year olds unless they have been given the option to have a vaccine!

Anyone else feel this is probably most likely what will happen? As that is already happening in other countries…

Let’s keep in mind that the vaccine is not sterilising - so you can still catch Covid and spread it if you have it with the same amount of viral load as someone who isn’t vaccinated. Also as mentioned before - research is showing that natural immunity is broader and longer lasting.

I don’t mind the vaccine being offered to healthy 12-15 year olds for those who want it as long as my son won’t be at a disadvantage because he has not had it. But I have a bad feeling that this won’t be the case…

I still can't understand the JCVIs decision but I'm starting to see why vaccinations will be given on a wider balanced view- we need to keep the schools open now no matter what .

Can they get 12-15s done over a couple of weeks?
