It's common enough that there are state legislatures trying to ban mRNA vaccines all together. [1]

Kids spread covid and no vaccine is 100% effective.

I've not seen any evidence that the vaccine is dangerous to any age group. There is plenty of evidence that COVID is deadly to the very young, the very old, and a bunch of other people (including those with compromised immune systems).

It's exactly the same reason kids should get the flu shot.

That said, there's no requirement anywhere for kids to get either.
