Fair question. My general understanding is that the risk is very low for children, especially when it comes to severe disease and/or death (though there are still some questions about long-term effects), and even more so now that they have been fully vaccinated with two doses.
I’m mostly just curious if we’ll see booster recommendations for children as we have for adults and if the efficacy impact of Omicron is due to time or something inherent to the two-dose vs three-dose mechanisms at play.
And generally as a parent I’d prefer to see my child not get sick at all, though I know that’s basically unavoidable. That being said, I like to understand what the risks involved are if possible.
