Worried about the vaccines' side-effects and believing that Covid-19 infections are mild among young children, parents are now hesitant to have them vaccinated.

 

Dung and her husband, who live in Hanoi's Ha Dong District, have two children aged five and eight. They have decided against getting them vaccinated against Covid-19 in a survey conducted by the kids' school.

 

Dung said she and her husband are worried about the side effects of the vaccine because there have been cases of severe reactions after injections among those aged 12-17 that led to the deaths of five teenagers.
