UNDER-30s to be offered alternative vaccines is ‘right’, the Royal Borough’s health lead said – but stressed the AstraZeneca vaccine is still safe.
The national media reported under-30s in the UK will be offered alternative vaccines to the AstraZeneca jab following concerns of rare blood clots.
But the health board said, such a contentious issue cannot be restricted to the under-30s.
It said such concerns will be fully investigated for those from 25 to 50. The issues could also affect families with older children.
In a recent article in the BBC, Health Minister Jonathan Ashworth’‖ said the Government will introduce the alternative vaccines ‘at a later stage’‖. He has since assured all further questions about the Government policy will be ignored unless asked in Parliament.
The Anglican Church of England Church ‘prevented’‖ an emergency visit by the health board chairman in The Triceley area but merely questioned the health board on the controversy.
Local authority Cheshire Medical's chairman of the assembly ‘Stephen Storey’‖ also met his counterpart ‘John Joseph’‖ who said this could be resolved.
But he added: "Preliminary advice from the health board seems to be that several of the Chiltern region's high-risk areas are covered by the alternative vaccines due to concerns about meningitis caused by the first jab.
"Many areas of disease risk to the Neath area are also covered, and they are likely to have issues, particularly in the December floods.
"I believe the health board should restructure this product further to ensure that we have a product that are absolutely safe."
Mr Storey said no patients had been admitted for further checks while the emergency adjustments were making their way through different parts of the NHS.
Council leaders in various areas have been contacted about future decisions.
The London Assembly will debate the issue from 17:30 GMT next week, and Terence Eden, the Tory MP for a Kensington ward on the river Lea, said: "The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is being seen as a model place to introduce this.
"But again, we could have children with sky high encephalitis deaths and Fynn's syndrome. We will have to raise this with the Government in due course - if not immediately, then down the line."
The chief delegate for the Stringer, John Defriest, urged the new Welsh Government to prioritize safeguarding flu vaccinations for older people.
He added: "The biggest conclusion appears to be that introduction of the second jab in diverse communities to prevent the recessive virus going away can be achieved through making existing products safer.
