ATAGI has recommended vaccinating all children aged 12-15 against COVID-19, declaring the move is needed as schools return to face-to-face learning.

Children aged 12 and older will be eligible from 13 September, says Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who is encouraging parents to get their kids vaccinated in general practice.
