However, SAGE member Professor John Edmonds issued a severe warning that if the plan to vaccinate children between 12 and 15 years old is rejected, the school will face chaos.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today program: “I think we have to consider the broader impact Covid may have on children and their educational and developmental achievements.
“In the UK, it’s hard to say how many children are not infected, but maybe about half, or about 6 million children, so if we allow the infection to only spread among the population, there is still a long way to go, that’s many. Children will be infected, which will cause a lot of disruption to schools in the coming months.”
