- encryptluks2 5y agoThe good ol hypothetical shot. If only people would take this shot that doesn't exist yet.
- hammock 5y agoWe don't have a vaccine that reliably kills coronavirus in "one shot", so we don't really know. For the vaccines that work, uptake is much higher than that for the covid jab.
- icehawk 5y agoWell yes. We don't have a vaccine that kills coronavirus, because vaccines don't "kill" anything.
- hammock 5y agoObviously. I'm using "kill" colloquially, in the same way the article title does. No need to be pedantic.

- onychomys 5y agoThat uptake is high in large part because we require them to go to public school. And, let's not forget, the vast majority of childhood vaccines are multidose: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolescent.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolesc...
