Dr. Marc Siegel: Vaccinate your kid? This COVID conversation belongs in your doctor's office
Fox News
No child is too young to learn this central public health lesson: the only way out of this or any pandemic is to decrease the amount of circulating virus or susceptible hosts to the point where the virus has few options.
The committee members make their recommendation based on whether they would be willing to give the vaccine to their own child.
An over-told story is the rare risk of myocarditis (especially in male teens) who perhaps received too high a dose of an MRNA vaccine or received it too close together. Either way, the incidence is still less than five per 100,000 and almost all recover. Compare that to the risk of long COVID (more than 10 percent) in young people, plus more than 150 deaths ages 5 to 11 according to the CDC.
