Young people aged 16 and 17 years old All young people in Jersey aged 16 to 17 are eligible for the Pfizer/Biontech COVID-19 vaccine.
Once young people reach 16, they are presumed in law to be competent to give consent for themselves. This includes for their own surgical, medical or dental treatment, and any associated procedures, such as investigations, anaesthesia or nursing care. This would include receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Third dose for severely immunocompromised people The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advised that people over the age of 12 with severely weakened immune systems should have a third vaccine dose as part of their primary COVID-19 vaccination schedule.
JVCI advice and list of who can receive a third dose on gov.uk
People who need a third dose are those who had a severely weakened immune system around the time they had their first 2 doses. This includes those who had or have:
blood cancers (such as leukaemia or lymphoma) lowered immunity due to treatment (such as steroid medication, biological therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy) lowered immunity due to inherited disorders of the immune system an organ or bone marrow transplant diseases that affect the immune system such as poorly controlled HIV other diseases or treatments as advised by your specialist How to get your third dose We are working with GPs and specialist teams to contact people who are severely immunosuppressed. The Vaccination Team will be in touch with you to arrange your third dose.
If you have not heard from the team but think you might be severely immunocompromised and eligible for a third dose after reading the list of conditions, you should contact your GP or specialist team who will be able to make a referral.
This offer is separate to any potential booster programme. The JCVI is still deliberating the potential benefits of booster vaccines for the rest of the population and is awaiting further evidence to inform this decision.
Children aged 12 to 15 who are at risk or live with someone who is immune supressed We are aiming to offer vaccination to all children and young people who are:
12 to 15 year olds clinically at risk over 12 year olds who live with someone who is immune supressed If your child is in one of the groups recommended for vaccination by the JCVI, you will need to contact the helpline and then the vaccination team will then contact you to arrange for your child’s vaccinations.
There are no current plans to vaccinate children and young people outside of the eligible groups. However, the JCVI is continually reviewing evidence on this matter and will advise if it decides that a change of approach is required.
