I am a Director of Public Health and am double #vaccinated & #boosted. My husband is a transplant recipient protected by 4 jabs and our 8 year old will soon get her first. Vaccination is the best way to stop people getting seriously ill from #covid. It's never too late. @ADPHUK

I'm hearing worrying rhetoric from scientists suggesting that children don't suffer from 'severe illness' so may not need vaccination. Let's look at the evidence around this. How severe in SARS-CoV-2 in children, and what are the impacts of transmission occurring among children?
