Is there much point getting DD vaccinated

We’ve had an invite through for DD (10) to get the vaccine. I’m just not sure if there’s any point. She’s had Covid twice in the last 4 months with barely a symptom either time. Also, case numbers seem to have started declining now and, if the last 2 years are anything to go by, I expect the summer to be pretty quiet. So is there any point in getting her vaccinated when the vaccine will just wear off in a few months?

I’m thinking about holding off and just reevaluating in October to potentially get her vaccinated before next winter’s surge. Anything I’ve missed?

I would never ever put the burden of that choice on the shoulders of a 10 year old like some posters frighteningly seem happy to do. Equally I wouldn't be considering for a moment getting a healthy10 year old jabbed at the onset of Spring especially when they previously have had the virus without issue.
