SIR – Dr Douglas Jenkinson (Letters, July 2) notes that Covid vaccination in children would be extremely safe.
However, healthy children are extremely unlikely to suffer significant illness or die from Covid infection. They therefore would not benefit from the vaccination, but would be exposed to its side effects.
Some will argue that the unvaccinated will be able to pass on the infection. There is little evidence for this or evidence that vaccination prevents transmission.
Dr Neil Upton
SIR – The Government is trialling a scheme whereby children will be Covid tested on a daily basis, as an alternative to isolating complete classes of healthy pupils. The idea that the solution is shoving a swab down the throat and up the nose of every healthy child, every day, is abhorrent.
