Re: Coronavirus
Unless you want to reduce the chance of them spreading the virus if they are one of the one in three that is asymptomatic when they get it.

Beate Kampmann, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s Vaccine Centre, told The BMJ that while most children were not at risk of severe covid-19 illness, they may have an important role when it comes to transmission.
“To include children in the vaccination programme is essentially a question of their role in transmission of the virus. They do not usually have severe disease manifestations, with a few exceptions, usually related to comorbidities. The more adults we can protect with the vaccines the less the vaccination of children would matter. However, to achieve as much suppression of viral circulation and to get to community immunity which can then suppress transmission and evolution of new variants, it could be justified,” she said, adding that it was unlikely that children under 5 would be vaccinated.
