“As school holidays approach, we must also acknowledge that children contaminate their parents and grandparents at home. Those groups are 10 times more likely to develop severe disease, be hospitalised or - if unvaccinated - die. The use of mask and ventilation and regular testing should be a standard at all primary schools. And vaccinating children should be discussed and considered nationally as part of school protection measures. Vaccination of younger children not only reduces their role in Covid-19 transmission, but also protects them from paediatric severity whether associated with long Covid or multi-system, inflammatory syndromes.”
