Health bosses have apologised after some clinically extremely vulnerable children were mistakenly sent letters inviting them for a Covid vaccination.
Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) sent the letter to children under the age of 16.
Currently no-one under the age of 16 has been advised to have a vaccine.
In a statement, the CCG said the mix-up was due to a "processing error" and they were "extremely sorry", urging anyone who got a letter to ignore it.
"Due to the processing error reported, we are aware that some children under the age of 16 who are classed as clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) have mistakenly received a letter inviting them for a Covid-19 vaccination," it said.
