Long CoVid prevention by vaccination was most effective for teens at 50.3% but reduced risks for those 5 to 11 years by 24%.  The vaccine was most effective at preventing Long CoVid for the first 6 months after getting the shot at 61% with than figure dropping to 11% by 18 months after vaccination. Even if you don’t choose vaccination for yourself, and I highly recommend that you do, don’t be guilty of child abuse by failing to vaccinate your children. https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/doi/10.1542/peds.2023-064446/196419/Vaccine-Effectiveness-Against-Long-COVID-in?autologincheck=redirected #CoVid #longcovid #vaccination #adolescents #childabuse
