Covid jab 6 year old

[Dunnoburt]

Argh! I'm so torn with this!..... Ever since day 1 I've taken Covid EXTREMELY seriously..... I'm fully jabbed etc..... But I've now had a text to say my 6 year old (year 1) daughter is eligible for the jab.....I'm all go for myself, I know the risks etc..... She however doesn't have (or understand) a say .... Am i right in thinking that the jab does not prevent the carriage or spread but reduces the severity of the virus?..... What would you do? I'm seriously torn (it doesnt help I have connections to one of the first people who died because of the vaccine (vulnerable but not old)..... IABU get the jab YANBU dont get the jab

My children won't be having it at the moment. Might change my mind in the future.

If it stopped them getting it then I would reconsider I think. I don't think it's right to compare it to other childhood vaccinations as most of those stop you getting the illness. Whereas this reduces the effects of covid. I also don't think it's right that the JVCI did not recommend it to be begin with then changed there mind.....

There’s not one reason I can think of to vaccinate a healthy 6 year child

I can think of several but the top one is parental choice, same reason for those who choose not to.
