Vaccines for kids against COVID are VERY SAFE:

* 8.7m vaccines given to 5-11y
* 100 "serious side effects" in VAERS (**NOT** causative link) including myocarditis (15), for a myocarditis rate of 1 per 540000 (unsecure VAERS)
* 2 deaths, neither causal

Using enrolled v-safe program, 42k kids received the vaccines. Normal, expected reactions occurred. 14 (0.02%) hospitaled following vaccine, and one of those was not actually hospitalized (error report).

No deaths. (AT LEAST 104 kids died of COVID during this time)

In another active surveillance program, out of 333,000 child vaccine doses given, NO cases of myocarditis 1-42 days after administration have been found. thats 0/333,000 doses.

/3

So in short:

1) Concerns of the *safety signal* of myocarditis in kids have resulted in the very null finding of serious risk.

2) 0 vaccine-caused deaths following vaccine during this study period. 104 pediatric COVID-caused deaths in 6 weeks. That's infinity protection.

In other words, vaccines are SAFE and EFFECTIVE for kids.

In NY, there were 87 hospitalizations for kids due to COVID in one week (Dec 16-23). NONE were vaccinated.

Please, get your kids vaccinated as soon as they are eligible.
