Recorded Covid infections among children are now the highest they have been during the outbreak in Scotland.
Weekly infections in 0-14 year olds reached 1,064 on 7 June - higher than the peak in early January, according to Public Health Scotland.
While there is no evidence children are becoming seriously ill, growing numbers of pupils are off school.
Nicola Sturgeon has said Scotland would move quickly to vaccinate 12-15 year olds if recommended by the regulator.
The number of cases among the youngest age group is rising rapidly, having seen a near four-fold increase since early May.
