The uptake of the Covid-19 vaccine in Ireland has been the envy of Europe, with most adults needing little encouragement. However, when it comes to vaccinating young children there are signs of uncertainty among those having to make that decision.
With the rollout to 5-11 year olds under way for a few weeks, some parents, including those who are fully vaccinated, have expressed concern about their children getting it.
One parent told RTÉ News that: "At the moment I won't be getting my child vaccinated. He is only five years of age so I want to find out more about it.
So to me, it is a no." "I am double vaccinated and not anti-vax or anything. I just want to leave it a while before I decide to get him done.
