Critical reproduction numbers.

Reproduction numbers and at which herd immunity cannot be achieved without vaccination of age groups 0 − 19 and 0 − 9, respectively. Computed using A: age-dependent susceptibility profile of SARS-CoV-19: Ages 0–19 are roughly half as susceptible as adults [15]. B: Same susceptibility profile as in A, but with increased susceptibility in the age group 10–19: Ages 10–19 are as susceptible as adults. C: Same susceptibility profile as in A, where ages 10–19 are as susceptible as adults.
