Fair question. My general understanding is that the risk is very low for children, especially when it comes to severe disease and/or death (though there are still some questions about long-term effects), and even more so now that they have been fully vaccinated with two doses.

I’m mostly just curious if we’ll see booster recommendations for children as we have for adults and if the efficacy impact of Omicron is due to time or something inherent to the two-dose vs three-dose mechanisms at play.

And generally as a parent I’d prefer to see my child not get sick at all, though I know that’s basically unavoidable. That being said, I like to understand what the risks involved are if possible.

3 boys at home, all with a COVID-19 infection last December. The one already after the puberty got long COVID, the one "in the start of puberty" had only mild long COVID and the youngest one (7) was asymptomatic.

Some friends noticed also this puberty "cut". But statistically, I cannot tell if this is significant or not, because you never have the information "12 good in puberty" or "11 no signs of puberty yet".

I'm in a similar position: I've had three mRNA doses, vaccines here may start to be available to my children next week

I wouldn't want them to be the weak link, but having them partially immunized during a delta/omicron peak may be sub-optimal...

Any data/analysis on the subject would be welcome
