Children and the COVID 19 vaccine

Hey, 

Unfortunately I tested positive for coronavirus yesterday. My symptoms are mild. My eldest tested negative and I cant do a test on my youngest as he is too distressed when I try but I believe he is positive as he has a cough and a runny nose. 

This morning I received a letter from the NHS to invite my eldest son age 11 to receive his 1st dose of the vaccine as he fall into a vulnerable category due to him being a severe asthmatic. I showed him the letter and he said there is no way I am getting a jag. I don’t want the vaccine. 

I am triple jabbed and I didn’t hesitate at getting any of my vaccines. 

I feel incredibly worried about trying to persuading my child into getting a vaccine. I am so scared he has a severe reaction to the vaccine or worse. 

Can I ask what others think? would they encourage their child if the refuse? I am not trying to start a debate I am just looking for some advice. Is there any way my child doesn’t need to get the vaccine?

  • We've had quite a good take-up at school (secondary, boys) for the vaccine. I would say maybe 5% have been off the next day with mild side-effects - usually a headache and a slight fever - but nothing worse than that.

    Has he been hesitant about vaccines before? I mean, is it a needle/medical phobia, or has he encountered some of the silly stuff online about the Covid jab?

  • Thanks for your reply.

    We have just went over the letter together, he questioned why he was in the at risk category. I explained due to his asthma making him more likely to become poorly from coronavirus and he said okay I’ll get it then, I don’t want to be back in Hospital. I’m quite shocked at him now agreeing. 


    He did mention he’s worried about getting a jag because the last time he got any jags was when he was a baby amd he can’t remember the feeling. 

    I think lots of reassurance will calm his nerves but unfortunately for me I’m atill worried. 

  • Hi Lau. I think the way you've handled the situation is very good. If I've understood you correctly, you've offered reassurance without turning the situation into a 'big deal', which might make it more frightening for your son next time.

    Although children are at low risk from Covid, the fact that he's in a vulnerable category means that you needed to take action. You might worry about side effects, but there is an overwhelmingly greater chance of him becoming ill from Covid, which would I'm sure would also be very worrying/guilt inducing. You've done the right thing, both for your son, and those around him.

  • If I read correctly and you tested positive, PLEASE do a few 0000 iu's of vitamin D at the very least.

    They just did a big reveal on ivermectin too, but it isn't in the MSM. 

    This isn't a negative thing there are definitely other ways and means to reduce the effect & duration of Covid-19 than just the jab. You'd be a fool to close your eyes to this, just because the mainstream media isn't promoting it.

    THE FLCCC protocol is the best and most researched I could find.
