Paul Cullen: Plan to vaccinate children aged 12-15 based on wider criteria than direct medical benefit

Among all 12-15 year olds, there were 34 admissions in 2020 and 56 so far this year, and no deaths among this group. Fewer than five admissions to paediatric ICU have been linked to Covid-19.

Earlier this week, the first large-scale study on Covid and children found most recovered quickly from the disease. Just 1.8 per cent experienced symptoms for longer than eight weeks. Again, the impact of vaccines on long Covid is not yet known. In Ireland, there have been 17 reports linked to myocarditis/pericarditis, but none among children. The youngest report concerned a patient aged 38.

However, the US Centers for Disease Control has made the point recently that even fully vaccinated people can transmit the virus.
