The vaccination of 5-11-year-olds involves 2 doses - once they get their first dose their second dose is at least eight weeks later.
Note: If a child was 11 when first vaccinated, then turns 12 before their second vaccination, the second vaccination can use the adult Comirnaty. This is a change from previous advice.
You can access the relevant course on our learning management system: Paediatric COVID-19 Vaccinator Education Course (Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine). You just need to log in.
