Round 6 of the Schools Infection Survey (SIS), a study jointly led by Public Health England (PHE), the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS), was carried out in June 2021 across 141 primary and secondary schools within selected local authority areas in England.
Ministers announced the rollout would be extended to 16- and 17-year-olds last week after the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) changed its tune on the policy.
The Schools Infection Study of 114 schools
showed just 0.42 per cent of secondary school students tested positive for Covid in June - down from 1.48 per cent in November last year.
