A professor has said we are now "past the point" where Covid-19 jabs would make much difference to children aged over five.
Professor Paul Hunter, professor in medicine at the University of East Anglia, told the BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I would lean against offering it to this age group for a number of reasons, particularly although you’ve said we’ve seen very high infection rates in children in recent weeks, they’re actually falling really quickly at the moment.
“And we’re seeing fewer than half the cases in this age group even little more than a week ago, so I think in many ways we’re past the point where vaccines are actually going to make much difference.”
