I'm furious and so upset. I have been waiting for my daughter to turn 5 in September so I can get her vaccinated. Have just read that she now won't be eligible for a vaccination until she is 11 or 12!

Does anyone know any countries that are a short flight away where under-11s can get Covid vaccinations without being resident?

You also shouldn’t schedule it close to any live vaccines ie MMR ; believe the gap is 4 weeks

I highly doubt that many countries will continue to offer it to otherwise healthy kids, only those children who have a health need. They are only offering boosters to over 50's here as it is.

Why are you so desperate to get her vaccinated? Seems a bit OTT
