Covid in Great Britain, 54,218 infections and 199 deaths in the last 24 hours. Wednesday last week, the Guardian recalls, there were 68,214 infections and 276 deaths. VACCINE 5-11 YEARS IN UK – Children between 5 and 11 years old will be able to get vaccinated against Covid in England. This was announced by the London government, after a similar decision was taken in recent days in Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland, reports the Guardian, is also about to give the authorization. The initiation of vaccination for this age group – already underway in the US, the EU, Israel and other countries – was decided upon the recommendation of the Joint Vaccination and Immunization Committee (Jcvi), after an evaluation of the risks and benefits. The “non-urgent” vaccination will be carried out through the school health services with the Pfizer BioNTech preparation.
