Ran out of time so didn't get vaccinated

Ds was supposed to be getting his jab today. Unfortunately, the vaccination team ran out of time, so some Y11 children didn't get theirs. I rang 119 and they couldn't offer any advice, as they don't deal with under 16's. Our GP practice said the same.
Not sure where to go from here ?

Have you got a "grab a jab" or "pop up vaccination clinic" or "vaccine bus" locally?

They don't all do under 18s but some do. All the details are on my local council website.

Was it in school? If so, won't school be rearranging?

GOV website says under 16 can't use walk in vaccination /pop up.
Will have to wait and hope they have a record of the ones that were missed today

Just checked again...the grab a jab buses etc that do under 16s are visiting schools here and the rest won't accept walk ins Hmm

However, the SAIS team who are doing the inschool vaccinations have a duty to come back. They'll have a "mop up" session for anyone who was missed or off.
It was the same with the Care Home Teams in our area that delivered the vaccines there. They came back at a future date. I'm wondering how home educated children would be able to access them?

I've been wondering the same about children who are home-educated.
