Got the NHS letter through about getting our kids vaccinated. Can anybody point me to some meaningful information on vaccination in under 12s if it is out there? Would be appreciated.
For us a vaccine was a no brainer, but for the kids I'm wondering if it's needed, for them or for the greater good. Eldest has had the virus twice, very minor symptoms and isolated, youngest like me hasn't had it once but she's terrified of needles and I'd only do that to her if the information suggests it's a really good move for the majority.
On a side note, went to the toy shop with the kids this morning as they wanted to spend some vouchers they'd got, but as the mother in law is again undergoing cancer treatment we decided to mask up as positive cases could delay treatment, which could be significant. Within 4 mins of being in the store some guy comes past us and coughs at us all, and quite obviously. I mean, even if you don't agree with masks now or a year ago, why do that at a family with two small kids?
I was restrained as he nearly got a paw patrol scooter across his head until my wife squeezed my hand in protest. Daft thing is, we could have all tested positive but decided to go to the shops anyway and worn a mask as a 'courtesy' as it was us who were infectious. How's he to know? Ah well, the world spins, bears still crap in the woods and some people remain cretins.
