[saptastic]

Chris Whitty 'will approve Covid jabs for teenagers because it will boost their mental health and social development' but 12-15 year olds may only get ONE dose because of rare heart complication risk

He is a medical advisor so I want to hear medical benefits for using a vaccine - his opinion on mental health is not relevant.
Chris Whitty worries about mental health impacts is a bit hypocritcal! and there is an acknowledged heart risk

Do you think teenagers should get the jab?

Do you have a better source? Sorry don't believe the Daily Mail when they quote stories.

[saptastic]

No - but as I dont read the fail I saw it reported somewhere else than just googled and the article came up

In the long for us as a country it would be better for us to send the vaccines aboard for adults in other countries to have rather than giving it to secondary aged children.

There are measures we should be taking to minimise children catching it and passing it on, but it seems easier for the government to just say jab children.

The idea that there is a limited amount of vaccines sort of fly in the face of the fact the world created a few billion vaccines in a year and is building the capacity for booster shots.

Its not either/or we need to produce enough for everyone at £2.50 a shot. Various governments need to pay for it, maybe we can all chip in, some dictators can sell their beamers.

The first job of a government is to protect their citizens, inject the kids and stop it circulating in the schools just as we do with other illnesses.

The vaccine will not prevent you from catching or transmitting the virus.

I'm sorry, mental health isn't a medical issue?

Yes, it probably* will.

*about 75% likely I think?
