Please don't take medical advice from HN.
When you look at small children data, mind that there are some very high risk children out there. "Data from the first 12 months of the pandemic in England shows 25 under-18s died from Covid. [...] Around 15 had life-limiting or underlying conditions, including 13 living with complex neuro-disabilities." Another example, on TWiV 811 Dr. Daniel Griffin stated that risk of hospitalization is 4x for children with Down syndrome.
Where I get unease is the fact that there is no long term data of vaccine safety and effectiveness, in spite of the constant barrage of officials implying the contrary. What is the best path for kids to grow up, have their own children and have to ask themselves the same question? Is the answer 25 booster shots, one each year? How do vaccines interact with long term immune system? What about variants that have not evolved yet? We don't know.
Some choose 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it'. Some choose to put their faith in vaccines, 'the vaccine definitely helps in the short term, and there are minuscule downsides'. Some Amish refuse the vaccine on principle. Given the limited information we have, not sure there is a guaranteed right answer.
