Covid-19: NI schools warned about hoax vaccine letters

The Public Health Agency (PHA) has warned post primary schools in Northern Ireland about hoax Covid vaccine consent letters. Some schools have received emails claiming to come from the NHS, which contain a 'consent checklist' for vaccination. The email asks them to share the checklist with parents and pupils. But the PHA said 'the false email and 'consent form' content contains a number of important inaccuracies'. It should 'not be forwarded to parents,' the PHA said. BBC News NI has been contacted by some principals in Northern Ireland whose schools have received the hoax consent forms. They are presented as a form with information to be sent to parents ahead of pupils being given Covid vaccinations.
