In China , kids from three years old can legally get vaccinated , so what are we waiting for ?

Getting vaccinated might hurt , and it may have some side effects , but it is better than getting COVID-19 .

Even though kids have a smaller chance of getting deadly symptoms from the disease , getting vaccinated is still safer .

Kids can also spread the virus to the community , therefore , requiring vaccines will help us get back to normal life .

The coronavirus pandemic has killed many people and the best way to protect yourself is to get vaccinated .

China approved vaccination for kids aged 3 to 17 and I believe that all students should be required to get their shot to return to school .

By getting kids vaccinated , we would be able to reach herd immunity faster . This means that a large portion of people in the population are immune to covid , making the spread of it unlikely .

Because covid has brought many inconveniences , it would be a big relief to many of us for life to be normal once again . By having all students vaccinated , we can have a faster return to normalcy ( no more masks , more travel ).

Schools should not make children take to the Covid-19 vaccine . The choice should be the responsibility of the parents .

The parents might disagree with what type of vaccines are used , and as parents , they would only want the best for their children .

Countries use different types of vaccines , and they might have different symptoms to other vaccines abroad . How do we know these are safe for children long term ?

Children are unlikely to get sick from COVID . Most of the deaths are from older people roughly above the age of fiftyfive .
