This article: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2315740-mystery-outbrea... - states the kids were aged 2 to 5, which is too young for the vaccine.

That doesn't mean they weren't. The article just doesn't say. I don't know about the UK, but in the U.S., because of the EUA, many younger people got vaccinated before the vaccine was approved for their age group, therefore the question is fair.

No, you're absolutely right. But being in the UK (and the vaccine being provided by the NHS) does mean it's highly, highly unlikely that they were vaccinated as it has not been offered to the under 5s.
