Do not vaccinate healthy children under the age of 18 against covid19
Children are at very low risk Of serious illness from Covid19. Vaccines authorised for emergency use shouldn’t be used in this situation as long term impacts haven’t been studied. Parents cannot give informed consent.
Vaccines should not be given to healthy children with underlying health conditions that are being used and only approved under emergency legislation. They should only be given when long term impacts and reactions are known. Parents and children deserve to be able to give informed consent.
