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.
It is tough. I know of multiple families with big rifts because of vaccine beliefs. At least one is heading to divorce. Sometimes a compromise of wait and see is ok. Have him keep an eye on data in the US. 10% of 5-11 year olds have been vaccinated there with zero cases of myocarditis so far.
