Pupils must be allowed to stay in school if they say no to getting a Covid vaccination, campaigners have warned.
Activists say students should not be dragged out of classrooms if they decide not to have the jab until further tests are done.
They are ‘extremely concerned’ about any mass roll out of doses to children Professor Chris Whitty hinted at yesterday.
It comes as more than 50,000 people signed a petition against Covid vaccinations for youngsters.
The appeal to Parliament had raked in 54,895 as of Tuesday morning as it called on the government to avoid jabbing youngsters.
The mounting fear follows Professor Whitty revealing yesterday children could be given vaccines to stop the virus disrupting their education.
He said officials were still considering whether to vaccinate children but the ‘big priority’ was reaching over-18s in the summer.
