Apparently suddenly appointments for the second jab are being cancelled, and some parents are “distraught”.

I’ve just been made aware that children turning 5 from this month onwards are no longer eligible for the covid vaccine!

See snapshot from the NHS Green Book. I received a distraught email from a parent this morning whose child’s vax appt had been cancelled.

What kind of medicine do you offer to all children aged 5 – 11 as a “one off program” with a near-secret end date?

Apparently the end was a preplanned thing, a mere footnote in February that no one noticed. Was this a premade PR “out-clause” that was there from the beginning and which could be turned off or on as it suited? If so, we have to admire the politico-marketing. If things went badly, it’s a clever way of being able to cancel the program without appearing to cancel it. “Nothing to see here Ladies and Gentlemen“. It’s just a footnote clause that doctors didn’t know about.

Presumably, if there were no issues of concern they would have quietly extended the program.
