it's a difficult decision to make for some, as there is no real need for most children, especially where Omicron is concerned.  I immediately expect links and reams of evidence to the contrary but the info out there really exaggerates the risk.  I prefer to take guidance from what is happening in the UK where it is classified as very low risk.
