I’d love for a safe vaccine for kids to come out. Right now They are the vulnerable ones.

I’m all for people making their own choices when it comes to their bodies and what they put in it. This includes the vax and every other thing. But to push your opinions onto others and not be offered a choice on whether i consent or not goes too far. Please respect all decisions whether we choose to give it to our kids or not.

I just wish people would educate themselves through reputable sources. The risk of death and serious lifelong illness from covid is very real, now. It scares me to think that there are so many children out there who are not yet able to receive a vaccine and are at risk of infection, whilst others who could be protecting them are choosing not to. My first daughter was born at 31 weeks. If she was to have been exposed to covid in those early years, it would have killed her. Good on Ashto & Milla for using their profile to educate others with facts and science. COVID-19 vaccines have been developed without compromising quality, safety and effectiveness.

Taken from the Dept. of Health – Australian Government

“It may appear they have been developed very quickly, but researchers around the world have been working hard to develop COVID-19 vaccines from the earliest stages of the pandemic.

They have been able to speed up development of vaccines thanks to the collaboration between them, scientists, manufacturers and distributors.

The development and implementation planning phases have been run side-by side, instead of one after the other. This has been made possible because of unprecedented global funding.

In addition, research into how to respond to a pandemic has been occurring long before COVID-19.

This research looks at data from previous coronaviruses such as SARS in 2002 and MERS in 2012, giving researchers a head start when it comes to building the COVID-19 vaccines.

In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, or the TGA, has been rigorously assessing the potential COVID-19 vaccines for safety, quality and effectiveness. They will continue to do this with all vaccines before they will be approved and made available to Australians.

Once approved, each batch must also be checked to make sure it meets the same quality standards.”

I’ll be much more comfortable when mg little ones have had the chance to be protected

I think everyone needs to do what they feel is right for their family. Wether they want the shot or not. It’s dividing alot of us and it’s sad. But each to their own and no peer pressure please

Our eldest just got his first shot! Fingers still crossed for his younger siblings.

I always worry about effects of vaccines that are new on my kids.
Hopefully it will be one that is safe and has no long term effects.

As we venture out of lock down it is kids under 12 and those who are unable to get vaccinated I worry most about. While my husband and I have some protection from getting really sick because we are vaccinated we can still pass it on to our young kids. When we have the ability to choose vaccination for our kids we will.

I agree with wanting to keep my children safe but I also worry about the long term effects of this vaccine on young children.

I’m vaccinated while pregnant and hoping my little one has gained some antibodies

I need proof of no long term side effects first

I have mix feelings about kids and vax.

Yes desperately waiting for kids to have thier vaccines. My partner and I are fully vaccinated but not comfortable travelling internationally because kids arent protected yet.

If it means my grandkids will all be protected bring it on! When other countries have done the testing & have it approved we shouldn’t wait to have our children safe!

Yep. I will be very happy when we can get the kids vaccinated.

My son and daughter in law are very worried about the covid vaccines. They’re a bit reluctant to get it themselves but are more worried about their 5 yo son getting it
