England's Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty has said that Covid-19 transmission was currently highest in 12- to 15-year-olds and that almost all unvaccinated children would get infected at some point.
“There is definitely substantial transmission happening in this age group,” Whitty told lawmakers. “In fact, the age group we're talking about is the one in which the highest rate of transmission is currently occurring, as far as we can tell.”
Whitty said vaccines would reduce the risk of infection by 50 per cent, possibly more.
