As for kids getting vaccinated, health experts like the often-quoted Dr. Leana Wen say don’t rush the science on it and that kids should be open right now:

And there’s this op-ed written by Adam Finn, “a senior clinician in pediatric immunology and infectious diseases at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children in Britain and a professor of pediatrics at the University of Bristol” and Richard Malle, “a pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases and a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School”:
“The universal vaccination of healthy children 2 to 11 years old simply shouldn’t be a priority and may ultimately prove unnecessary.” https://t.co/7mFnn2PLfi
