It was supposed to prevent death and injury, these figures are absolutely appalling.
The figures are fantastic, you just don't know how to read statistics.
You can't just take a flat number, you need to look at it as a proportion of a given population.
In this case, the people who are dying are mostly the elderly, and those who have one or more comorbidity. They aren't dying because of the vax, they're vaxxed because covid poses a greater risk to them, and some of them die.
Look at the curve over time. The averages (See sources in my signature) show that the vax is helping, not hurting.
It's available, but it's not being offered. You have to request it.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines are safe and effective. 2 doses are being offered to children aged 5 to 15 to give them the best protection against COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccine ingredients:
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine does not contain egg or animal products.
Its not being offered as part of the vax program, its merely there if people want it.
The NHS will start vaccinating children aged 5-11 today, as the biggest and most successful vaccination drive in health service history moves to the next phase.
Almost five million children in this age group are eligible for two doses of the vaccine following updated JCVI guidance, which recommended children can benefit from non-urgent offer of the vaccine.
The NHS will also be sending invites over the next few weeks to let parents and guardians know they can now book in for a vaccine and some people will be invited by their GP teams.
NHS staff have already been vaccinating children aged 5 to 11 who have medical conditions that put them at increased risk from COVID-19 or who live with someone with a weakened immune system.

What is 'the vax program'?
he UK offers vaccines.......no vaccine is compulsory in the UK.
It's impossible to have a vaccine unless it is requested........they don't come round your house and force it in anyone.
Do you have a link for the 'vax program' that you mentioned?

Age range, and percentage of that population?
Since the NHS National Booking System opened for families of 5 to 11 year olds to book a COVID vaccine for their child on Saturday, 37,000 have already booked an appointment.
