Think you would need to speak to consultant or GP for answer to your question.

I am in the states. FDA has approved Pfizer for all 5 to 11 year olds. The jabs will be available hopefully by end of next week. Get your daughter one if it is offered! My daughter at 13 was fully vaccinated in April and will soon get her booster.

I think double vaccinated children will be needed to end this pandemic
