We have all been urged to get one (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...) but our GP practice says he isn't eligible, his post-16 college doesn't offer one and our local pharmacies are unable to vaccinate a 16YO privately? Advice please

Latest ITT statistics are somewhat positive, with most secondary subjects - especially shortage ones - recruiting better than last year. Primary down a smidge, English down due to bursary cut
But majority still likely to be below target (this is last year's targets: new actuals out next month)
