Updated @ASIDANZ @anzpid Statement on Primary School aged (5-to 11-year-olds) children and #COVID19 #vaccine. Read statement: https://t.co/clY9mmmPH5

[Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) @MCRI_for_kids]

The @vaccine rollout for @children aged five to 11 is expected to start on January 10, 2022.
MCRI vaccine experts Associate Professor @DanchinMargie and Professor @Fiona_M_Russell explain why the benefits of #vaccinating children outweigh the risks in 👇🏽 article | @TheAge

[@VACSIG @vacsig]

3/ Vaccine roll out is anticipated in early January.

[@VACSIG @vacsig]

@vacsig supports the decision by @TGAgovau to provisionally approve Pfizer for 5-11y children, subject to ATAGI advice. The vaccine was well tolerated, produced good immune responses & was highly efficacious against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a clinical trial @ASIDANZ @ASIDcrn 1/

[@VACSIG @vacsig]

2/ Millions of children have had 2 doses in US already & surveillance has found the vaccine to be safe. This vaccine will help protect children from infection & rare complications of COVID-19, will help prevent school outbreaks, & contribute to a ⬇️ in community transmission. 3/

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

The Omicron variant reflects the threat of prolonged vaccine injustice. The longer we take to deliver #VaccinEquity, the more we allow the #COVID19 virus to circulate, mutate and become potentially more dangerous.

[Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) @MCRI_for_kids]

With #Victorian children soon to benefit from the COVID-19 #vaccine, MCRI Professor @Fiona_M_Russell and @telethonkids Associate Professor @AshaBowen say #school #mandates should not be part of the package.

We worked with @JeanHailes to create a new resource regarding #COVID19 #vaccine information for #women 👇

[@VACSIG @vacsig]

@vacsig @asid supports the Viewpoint of the benefit of vaccinating 5-11y children, pending ATAGI approval. But no need to restrict social & sporting activities for children & teenagers based on vaccination status.

[Fiona Russell @Fiona_M_Russell]

@AshaBowen & my Op-Ed in @theheraldsun on 5-11y vaccination. This age group will soon benefit from #COVID19 vaccination too. But members of @anzpid & @vacsig do not generally support limiting children’s activities based on vaccination status 1/ https://t.co/Uvs9AuLzDT

Be #COVIDsmart. Make sure you get vaccine safety information from a trusted source. Read more: https://t.co/fCXdjeIjP3

If your Year 7 child missed getting their HPV and diphtheria-tetanus-whooping vaccines this year at school, they can still catch up at their GP or through the immunisation nurse at the council

@vacsig supports the views outlined in this Op-Ed & does not support #COVID19 vaccine mandates for children <16y. @ASIDANZ @ASIDcrn @_PHAA_ @TheRACP @RACGPPresident @amapresident @abcnews @newscorpaus

[Prof Margie Danchin @DanchinMargie]

It’s imperative that we ensure kids are not affected by mandates for school or any social or sporting activities: Overzealous application of vax rules to kids has to stop. Thx A/Prof Nick Wood for co-writing this piece with me https://t.co/nYbwWprNwz

Important work that emphasises the critical role of social and behavioural science and health communication in vaccine uptake.

Influenza targets the most vulnerable. Children with comorbid conditions make up 40% of flu admissions in Australia. These kids stay in hospital longer and are more likely to go to ICU and die.

One of the most common questions about COVID-19 vaccines is how the mRNA vaccines interact with our DNA. The answer is, they don't.
