COVID-19 rapid guideline: children and young people who are immunocompromised [NG174], NICE (updated 14th August 2020)

The purpose of this guideline is to maximise the safety of children and young people who are immunocompromised during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also aims to protect staff from infection and enable services to make the best use of NHS resources. On 14 August 2020, we updated the recommendation on safeguarding to remove a link to government guidance that has been withdrawn. The guideline covers children and young people (aged 17 and under). It may also be relevant for newborn babies under 72 hours, and 18 to 24 year olds using healthcare services.
