True, and the obvious example is that kids don't die of covid, or so little that it is hard to make statistics. For just that reason, vaccines have to be incredibly safe (basically zero risk) for the risk/benefit to be acceptable.
If it wasn't for the risk of transmission to adults there would be no reason for vaccinating kids.
