A team of scientists from the UK has recently explored the impact of non-pharmaceutical control measures and vaccination on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic during school reopening in England. The findings reveal that vaccination of children over the age of 12 can significantly reduce infections and deaths. In the absence of vaccination, the continuous implementation of non-pharmaceutical control measures in schools can also have a positive impact. A preprint version of the study is available on the medRxiv* server while the article undergoes peer review.
