Children get Covid and have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. 
        They recover easily and then have good immunity. They should not be vaccinated for Covid . Getting and recovering from Covid will give them natural immunity.  For kids, the vaccine poses more risk than the disease itself. 
  Save the vaccines for older people.
