Teenagers can overrule parents to have virus jab: UK minister

London | Teenagers would be allowed to overrule their parents on a decision to have the COVID-19 vaccination if jabs are introduced for 12- to 15-year-olds, Britain’s vaccines minister said.

Nadhim Zahawi said if a 12- to 15-year-old wanted to receive the jab and was judged to be “competent” then their decision would overrule the parents’ refusal for their child to be vaccinated.
