A Guide for Parents of Vulnerable Children

Children at serious risk from the complications of COVID-19 infection include:
• those with severe neurodisabilities
• those whose immune systems don’t work as well (immunosuppression*)
• those with profound and multiple or severe learning disabilities (including Down’s syndrome),
and those on the learning disability register
• those with long term serious conditions affecting their health
Eligible children and young people who are aged 6 months to 11 years should have the
COVID-19 vaccinations. Your GP or specialist will know if they need to have the vaccine.
