Considerations regarding consent in vaccinating children and adolescents between 6 and 17 years old

[GURPS]

Around the world, immunization programmes are increasingly including, in their national immunization schedules, vaccines that target age groups beyond infancy and early childhood. This document is aimed at programme managers who are planning to introduce vaccines for older children and adolescents aged between 6 and 17 years.1 It provides information that should be considered when preparing guidance notes on the consent process, or for clarifying questions from the health workers who provide the vaccinations. The document is all the more important because this population group may present for vaccination without an accompanying parent or legal guardian.

If I may ...

Any parent that allows their child/children, at any age under 18, to be given this experimental shot, should be brought up on child abuse and child endangerment charges.

It appears to be a regrettable fact that Covid cannot be stopped.
This vaccine isn't stopping it, and if everyone in the country was vaccinated the virus would still be spreading to those who are vaccinated.
Kid under 18 are not dying in any significant amounts to warrant their getting the vaccine so why this insistence on their getting it? There is substantial evidence of it causing damage to their heart, blood clots, strokes inn the young.

There is more evidence to the problems it causes in the youth than there is evidence of it's working for them.
Refuse. Just freaking refuse. Tell the Government NO.

I don't happen to believe the vaccine is dangerous, and likely lessens the effects of the disease even though we know it doesn't prevent receiving or transmitting it.

But given how little covid appears to affect children (young, not teenagers) I wouldn't voluntarily do it either. It doesn't protect their teachers or their family, and it wont lessen what's already almost always a very minimal sickness for them.
