The research was carried out at Bristol University.

A study suggests children who are considered vulnerable to Covid-19 only suffer "mild" side-effects from the Pfizer vaccine.

Researchers in Bristol found adverse reactions were mostly moderate in those aged between 12 and 15.

Symptoms included a mild rash, headache and diarrhoea - all of which went away within 72 hours.

The report looked at children who suffer severe neurodisabilities.
