Would you have your infant/toddler vaccinated?

Partner and I have both had our first Covid jabs. Our toddler has had all his immunisations so far too.

I’ve been thinking about what I’d have done had there been a Covid vaccine available for a baby of our age (1)

Honestly, I don’t think I would have gone ahead with it. The risk to babies and small children is so minuscule but they’ve got their whole lives ahead of them. I don’t believe the Covid vaccines to be unsafe at all but there is still that “what if” in the back of my mind regarding long term effects, though everything I’ve read suggests it’s highly unlikely.

I feel quite torn about this decision and I’m curious to know how others feel as I’m sure we’ll have something available for this age group in the near future.

Ah, the attempt at the ‘gotcha’. Grin

I haven’t given my children the flu vaccine and I don’t agree with compulsory/coerced vaccination so I guess that makes me ‘anti-vaxx’. Fair enough.

Now, I’m just going to head back over to the AZ thread where I’ve been posting about how having the two doses of the vaccine further apart has been found to be more effective. How very ‘anti-vaxx’ of me. Smile
