Me telling my husband that over 3 million children 5-11 in the US have already been vaccinated with one dose and there are 0 cases of myocarditis so far might help. My guess is he'd like to wait until there are that many with two doses and still no myocarditis (as chances go up on second dose,) before he's willing to pull the trigger.
Like I said, I would get her vaccinated, but my husband isn't willing YET. I'm not going to go against him to do it because it would make YOU more comfortable.

You can share this with him as well, if it's his biggest concern:

The risk of myocarditis for children under 16 years is 37 times higher for those infected with COVID-19 than those who haven’t been infected with the virus, according to a new study.

Because it is going to be endemic, pretty much everyone will get exposed. So by not vaccinating, you are exposing your kid to far more risk of myocarditis, and the vaccine obviously protects against many other ill effects of covid.
I can understand, emotionally, why some people might want to wait. But logically, it is the incorrect choice. I tend to think myocarditis isn't really a fear, it's just something you can point to as a manifestation of people's fear around giving something new to a kid. You could replace myocarditis with anything.
