Yes, why is there no Covid vaccine for children in Australia?

Last year, ACIP reported 58 deaths in infants ages less than a year, 44 deaths in children ages 1-4 years and 81 deaths in children ages 5-19 years. 50% of children hospitalised with COVID had no underlying health conditions.

The Govt are derelict in not informing the public of the long term dangers of Covid infection on any age group.
Yes, sure seems like it.

Quote:Children without underlying medical conditions continue to be hospitalized with COVID-19 and have severe outcomes. Out of all children with a COVID-19-associated hospitalization between July 2023 and March 2024, 50% had no underlying medical conditions; and, of those, 18% were admitted to the intensive care unit.
When comparing annual hospitalizations due to COVID-19 in the US pediatric population compared to other vaccine preventable diseases prior to their respective vaccine recommendations, there were higher rates of COVID-19 hospitalizations during 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.
Similarly, when comparing pediatric deaths per year in the United States due to COVID-19 compared to other vaccine preventable diseases prior to their respective vaccine recommendations, there were a higher number of deaths due to COVID-19 in 2023.
Oh, while I'm here - I was looking for this a while ago to use in another thread. A compilation of screenshots of some of the "promises" Anthony Albanese made about how he was going to deal with Covid if he was elected in the 2022 Federal election. All while criticising Scott Morrison, of course.
(Take special note of the "Parents deserve to know..." and "Kids can get sick from Covid..." posts).
Then, after winning the election he did (and continues to do)... absolutely nothing. Worthless lying piece of sh!t.
