Undecided atm. Reading up on it.

No way. I had horrendous side effects and there’s no way I’m putting my DS through for 10 weeks protection. Also he doesn’t want it.

My parents are wanting my 5 year old to have it but I'm not so sure. I had it 2 x xmas's ago, my ex has had it twice. I'm often around people who have it and who have had it and think she's had it at some stage. I'm leaning towards no.

It's of course your choice, but it's worth bearing in mind it doesn't offer only ten weeks protection.

Immunity wanes to around 80% on average at this point (according to one study), which isn't the same as suddenly no immunity after this time period.

My children are adults now and chose to be vaccinated. If they were currently in the 5-11 age range, I think my decision on getting them vaccinated at this stage in the pandemic would be No.

Hell no

No.
She had covid a month ago and only had a runny nose for a day. There’s certainly no way she’s getting a vaccine for that.
