I read over 600k between ages 12-16 got the shot in the first week. I completely understand the hesitancy and survey results seem to be 20% got their kids the shot immediately, and 20% are not going to at all.
We had my 12yo boys do it after we were fine with it, after also finding some study results with no ill effects, plus the fact we were doing more gatherings. Also figured they'd need it for school in Sept. Now it seems Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) is an issue. One of my boys 4 days after the 1st Pfizer shot experienced shortness of breath riding his bike up a hill. He's never had that happen even when skating hard in hockey games and then 2 weeks in a row during practice he experienced it again. There's no chest pain however. I didn't put 2+2 together until after they got their 2nd shot because Myocarditis wasn't big news until this past week. I'm going to get him scanned but this has me really worried I've done some damage to their heart long-term. If indeed it's myocarditis, he'll be out of any aerobic action for maybe 6 months. Has anyone had/seen this symptom themselves?
