Are you vaccinating your young child against covid ?

[LovelyYellowLabrador]

Feel a bit like we have to for travel insurance reasons
but bit unsure about it so just wanted to do a vote to get the thoughts of other parents of younger children of you are vaccinating your young child

yanbu = yes I’m vaccinating mine

yabu= no I’m not

in talking about primary school agar children age 5-10

I've not vaccinated 6 year old. We are all triple jabbed but part of me feels like goes he need it now we are managing covid in society. Are all children being offered it? (Uk) Do children need it to travel abroad?

What is the point of vaccinating if it doesn’t prevent

I know that it is meant to lessen the effects of the illness, but at this stage the only people I know who have had Covid recently are those that are vaccinated

Why are you commenting on a 2 year old thread? What’s the point of that?

Absolutely not!

Zombie thread!

"When people respond ‘No no no’ or ‘absolutely not’ with no further explanation, can I ask why? Is it because you believe it will cause harm?"

For me the whole premise of a vaccination is that it actually needs to provide a real benefit to the recipient otherwise why have it?

Yes children can get Covid but statistically they are at massively low risk. Equally children can get adverse reactions to the Covid jab (along with everyone else). So whilst I don't think that the Covid jab is sinister in any way, I do believe that the risk / benefit of the jab makes it not worthwhile in children.

Conversely I am genuinely shocked by the number of people that don't get their children vaccinated against chickenpox which is a real danger to children and where there is a clear benefit to having the vaccine.

Because if a thread comes up in active I assume it is just that

Didn’t look at the date

No one does. It just shows it relevant. I genuinely dislike the zombie thread army! It’s so annoying.
