LONDON, Dec 14 (Reuters) - The British government's
scientific vaccine advisory group is discussing whether or not
to advise children as young as five receive COVID vaccines, the
chair of Britain's vaccine group said on Tuesday.
"We are discussing that at the moment. We're also waiting
for the vaccines to be approved by MHRA," Professor Lim Wei
Shen, chair for COVID-19 immunisation on the government's Joint
Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, said.
Lim said the decision could be made before Christmas.
