The Government's top scientific advisers will make the final decision on jabs for 12 to 15-year olds within daysExclusive: Keir Starmer would tell 12-year-old son to get Covid jab if rollout extendedKeir Starmer has revealed that he would give his 12-year-old son a Covid jab if the vaccine to younger secondary children gets the green light. The Labour leader said he was in favour of everybody having the vaccine "if they possibly can" to help curb the spread of the virus. Ministers are then expected to "press the button" on the NHS roll-out as quickly as possible to get needles into pupils' arms. The Labour leader also urged ministers to speed up the booster process with the elderly given a third jab as soon as possible. However, the Labour leader raised concerns about infections surging in schools saying that more should have been done to ventilate classrooms before the start of term.
