This might be by letter, text message or phone, or a combination of all three. If someone is unsure if they have an SMI which falls within the official definition above, they are encouraged to contact their GP, or mental health team. GP teams are encouraged to keep prioritising people with severe mental illness, applying a flexible approach to defining SMI.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 21/04/2021 09:36:39 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2021 answer text <p>At present, there is very limited data on vaccination in adolescents and no data on vaccination in younger children. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation advises that only those children at very high risk of exposure and serious outcomes, such as older children with severe neuro-disabilities that require residential care, should be offered vaccination as part of phase one. Clinicians should discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with a person with parental responsibility, who should be told about the paucity of safety data for the vaccine in children aged under 16 years. The Green Book also sets out that children under 16 year of age, even if they are clinically extremely vulnerable, are at low risk of serious morbidity and mortality and given the absence of safety and efficacy data on the vaccine, are not recommended for vaccination.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 01/03/2021 11:51:05 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
