You asked
I would like information on the safety data and ingredients of the vaccine being rolled for 5-year-olds and upwards.
After reading this, I would assume the data is there for all to see.
Vaccines Minister Maggie Throup said: "I would like parents and guardians to be reassured that no new vaccine for children would have been approved unless the expected standards of safety, quality and effectiveness had been met".
With the safety data and ingredients, I would also like to know when, by whom and for how long trials were carried out for this COVID-19 vaccine being proposed for our children, also how many adverse reactions were recorded if indeed its gone through trials.

Thank you for your request.
The Office for National Statistics does not hold information on vaccine ingredients or regarding the safety standards in which vaccines are required to adhere to.
Your request may be better addressed by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA, formerly Public Health England) who are responsible for official government data on vaccinations. They can be contacted via email at informationrights@ukhsa.gov.uk.
