The World Health Organization (WHO) asked this Tuesday (7) for greater protection for children, the age group most affected by the new wave of the covid-19 pandemic in Europe, and stated that mandatory vaccination should be the “last resource”.
To avoid school closures and distance learning, the WHO European department recommends increasing diagnostic tests in schools and analyzing student vaccinations.
“The use of masks and ventilation, as well as regular testing, should be the norm in all primary schools, and child vaccination should be debated and considered nationally, with the aim of protecting schools,” he said. WHO Director for Europe, Hans Kluge, at a virtual press conference.
According to the WHO, cases are currently increasing in all age groups, “with the highest rates currently observed between 5 and 14 years”.
Mandatory vaccination, decided on or planned by some countries, should remain an “absolute last resort, only when all possible options to increase the rate of vaccination have been exhausted”, according to WHO Europe.
