I know of lots of people that are vaccinated themselves and are waiting on their kids for data from the US to come out. Also, the reality is that COVID is low risk to kids and they are fearful of Myocarditis. The difference between getting Covid and getting myocarditis vs. intentionally giving your kid a shot and it leads to Myocarditis is big in the minds of already worried parents even if the relative risk is much lower.
It is going to take some good education here from Doctors, pediatricians and the general public.
Realistically, if you can get to 50% uptake it will be great.
