Covid vaccination information for children aged 12-15 years with Down Syndrome

URGENT REMINDER: IS YOUR CHILD ON their GP practice LEARNING DISABILITY REGISTER?

GP practices have been given until 19 August to identify children (12-15) who have Down’s syndrome who are eligible for their Covid-19 vaccination. It is therefore vital that your child is on their GP practice Learning Disability Register and that their personal health record is correctly coded to show they are a person who has Down’s syndrome.
