Will you encourage your DC16 to get the covid jab?

[HotAndGrumpy]

DS will be 16 soon and will have access to the vaccination.

I just do not feel as if we have enough information on this to go ahead. I am not an anti-vaxer. I have had both my jabs.

What are other peoples thoughts?

Should have said:
Though don't need to as they are keen.

Is it possible that > 90% of people with newly diagnosed covid are age 18-34?

We are in EU and my dd had hers several months ago. I didn't hesitate. It's being rolled out to all 12 - 17 yos now.

This is quite a wide age bracket and doesn't include 16 and 17 year olds. I can only find info on hospitalisation rates for 15-24 (5 in 100k), then 25-34 (8 in 100k), the first being lower than the second suggests to me that rates for 18 to 34 year olds are not a good indication of rates for 16 and 17 year olds. Do you have stats on this age group?
