An infectious disease expert is calling for Queensland health authorities to consider vaccinating children, with young people accounting for more than half the cases in south-east Queensland's exploding Delta outbreak.A psychologist says teenagers are the most mentally prepared age group for mass vaccinationThe cluster has risen to
63 cases of the highly infectious Delta variant in less than a week and Queensland Health data shows 54 per cent involved people are 19 or youngerVaccinating older and vulnerable people remains the priority, but James Cook University professor Emma McBride says the strategy should be revised. "It's a different strain, it has different properties, and one of the things that it can clearly do is circulate amongst children," she said.
"Even if children are somewhat less likely to acquire or transmit COVID, they can still sustain that transmission amongst themselves, even with vaccinated adults.Teenagers are the most likely age group to take vaccinations in their stride, psychologist Rachael Sharman says.
I would like my children to be vaccinated. I didn’t want them to get measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, polio etc and vaccinated them against these diseases. I certainly don’t want them to get COVID and will vaccinate them once the vaccine is available
See you in hell
Fo
Why
Leave our kids alone.
Guaranteed the 25% of population that are rufusing to get vaccinated are LNP (or far right) voters. Therefore Govt has decided to push children to get vaccinated to make up the 80% numbers. Children DONT NEED TO BE MEDICALLY VACCINATED! Just enforce it on adults
We can't get boomers to vaccinate. Kids and the youth aren't the problem. When will we as a society stand up and call out the worst generation to have ever existed? The boomers are a cancer on society
no they dont get sick
Of course. Can be done through schools.
Should be charged with child abuse if you let your kids have this posion. 'Expert'🤣🤣
NO!!!
The US are vaccinating the over 12’s & masks are mandatory for kids age 2+. Is this what you’re suggesting? The UK are vaccinating 16-17 year olds & those over 12 who are high risk or immunocompromised.
