I also think the uptake in the 5-11 year old group will be lower, for many of the reasons Knut mentioned. I have a lot of contact with people who have children in this group for work and a lot of those who easily took the vaccine themselves, are hesitant about making that decision for their children.
To be fair, a lot are also ready to be first in line.
Calling those who aren't ready stupid will not change their minds. I understand that it's frustrating, but when people have constantly heard that kids are at a lower risk from covid, they are going to worry about giving their child something new.
