We'll be vaccinating our young kids as soon as FDA provides EUA. If it's approved then it's safer than doing nothing in their age group. The risks of infection with no vax, vaccinated infection, or reinfection ("natural immunity") are all tiny in kids; we're more interested in protecting the grownups they spend their time around. One angle that I don't see discussed a lot is what parents will plan to do if ACIP doesn't recommend any SARS-CoV-2 vaccine for very young kids (i.e. not until they're 5+ or maybe even 12+). It's very possible they could find the tiny risks from vaccination outweigh the tiny risks from infection. There could in principle be an interesting moral question. If vaccinating very young kids is almost but not quite harmless -- like it raises their risk of mortality from the equivalent of driving 100 road miles to driving 110 road miles -- but it dramatically reduces the risk that their adult caregivers will die, should they be vaccinated? If ACIP ends up looking at the data and saying that vaccinating the youngest kids is worse I don't think I'll be giving them a non-approved vaccine. I can see why people would do it, though; the magnitude of the risks could be similar to those incurred with air travel as a lap infant vs. being secured in a carseat.
