Quick recap: following the press reports that “leaked government documents” have suggested schools will be administering the Covid vaccine to all children 12+ in September, I have prepared a comprehensive letter detailing why this is a legal, medical, and ethical quagmire, and schools must not be involved in administering this programme.

The letter was passed over to two legal teams to review last week, who very kindly offered their services in order to make it as legally bulletproof as possible. One team has returned with their amendments, and I’m just waiting to hear from the other, and then it will be made widely available and start going out to schools.

Thanks to the generosity of a very kind individual, we will have access to a database of all UK headteacher email addresses, so can target them all all at once with an email blast, and another friend has found a database of all the main contact addresses for UK schools, so all schools will get a second mail at that address. Therefore, the arduous task I had imagined of hundreds of people trawling through local schools’ websites looking for emails will no longer be necessary! Thank you to all those far more technical than I for alerting me to this alternative…

Those of you who’d like to get directly involved are still very welcome to do so, by sending the letter to your local school’s board of governors, members of the PTA, or anyone else you think might benefit from reading it. Like all my letters, it will be made available on my website (www.miriaf.co.uk), and anyone who wants to use it in full or as a template for their own letter, is very welcome to do so.

I will let you know as soon as the letter is ready. Thanks for all your very kind and generous support for offering to get involved ?
