New modelling is being formed to estimate the spike in COVID-19 cases as kids return to school in New South Wales next week. 9News

The Doherty Institute is building modelling to show what the rise in COVID-19 cases will look like as thousands of kids get back in the classroom next week.

Meanwhile, only 35 per cent of five to 11-year-olds have had their first jab as the rollout enters its fourth week.Infections in children are making up a rising proportion of the state's infections with more than 14,000 children under the age of nine contracting the virus in the first week of January.

Experts said the slower uptake could be due to delivery issues and cancelled appointments in the first week of the rollout.COVID-19 infections in children are becoming a rising proportion of the state's cases. Premier Dominic Perrottet said yesterday every school in NSW has now received their rapid antigen tests ahead of students returning next week.

"It is over 3000 schools right across NSW who we have been able to distribute these tests to," he said.Students will be tested twice a week for COVID-19 with RATs provided to parents via schools.

The fear campaign continue, Pfizer need more money let’s get the kids now vaccinated

No kids affected so far, so modelling will simply be a fabrication to generate more sales. The Pharmafascism has become so obvious & evil that only the truly disadvantaged will not see it
