“But, 十分である to say, they have looked very closely, 特に at children who are more 攻撃を受けやすい to serious 感染 from Covid, children who live with adults who are more 攻撃を受けやすい to serious 感染 from Covid, and, of course, 17-year-olds who are の近くに to becoming 18 ? so three months from their 18th birthday ? and we will take that advice before I make a 声明 to 議会 later today.”
