Greg Hunt, Health Minister: ATAGI has considered and recommended that Pfizer be made available to all children from 12-15 years.

Importantly, what that means is we’re in a position to ensure that all children, and all families that seek their children to be vaccinated between 12-15, will be able to do so this year. We’re in a position to move from September 13 and that’s a carefully sequenced plan.

This differs from the UK health experts.

UK’s vaccine advisory body: Children were at such a low risk from the virus that jabs would offer only a marginal benefit. (We are) preferring a precautionary approach in healthy children due to a rare side effect of heart inflammation.

So the Aus experts are going ahead anyway. Despite having recently reported this:

ATAGI: Myocarditis and/or pericarditis have recently been reported overseas in adolescents aged 12 and older and in adults, following mRNA COVID-19 vaccines including (Pfizer).

The risk of these conditions appears higher in adolescents compared to adults.

In an analysis of US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System data, crude reporting rates were 40.6 cases per million second doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in males aged 12−29 years, and 2.4 per million second doses in males aged (over) 30 years.

That's one in 25 000 kids getting heart inflammation. Remember, this is just the first round of shots that may well go on all their lives.

ATAGI: More detailed data on incidence, including more refined age-specific incidence rates for adolescents aged 12-15 compared to over 16 years, and on medical risk factors, are not yet available.

More detail? If you need more then (a) why don't you have it? (b) Is it wise to jab 12 year-olds first then ask questions later?
