Children are more likely to be asymptomatic or have milder symptoms and less likely to present for healthcare and be tested for SARS-CoV-2. Thus, our current estimates are likely under-representative of the true burden of SARS-CoV-2 in children. Given the potential direct benefit of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in children and the substantial indirect benefit through community protection, or \u201cherd immunity,\u201d we argue that planning and implementation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines should include children. Furthermore, community protection occurred after widespread implementation of prior childhood vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae, rubella, and rotavirus. We detail considerations for vaccine clinical trials, potential barriers to the implementation of widespread vaccination and argue why children would be an ideal target population for vaccination.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciaa712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,2]],"date-time":"2020-06-02T11:12:15Z","timestamp":1591096335000},"page":"515-518","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["The
