Goals should be achievable. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated if they can but we'll never reach 98% no matter what we do.

Fortunately CDC data shows minimal risk to children. The estimated infection fatality rate for the 0-17 age group is only 0.001%.

The main benefit of vaccination is reducing the risk of severe symptoms. Vaccinated people can still catch and spread the virus, thereby putting your family at risk. There is probably some reduction in contagiousness but we don't have clear data on that yet.

Forgot to mention if my son get any kind of lungs issue or pneumonia he would likely die. It’s because his lungs are already very week from some other issues.

So while “normal” kid are likely to survive if infected mine will not unless he has 0 symptoms.
