@vacsig @asid supports the Viewpoint of the benefit of vaccinating 5-11y children, pending ATAGI approval. But no need to restrict social & sporting activities for children & teenagers based on vaccination status.

@AshaBowen & my Op-Ed in @theheraldsun on 5-11y vaccination. This age group will soon benefit from #COVID19 vaccination too. But members of @anzpid & @vacsig do not generally support limiting children’s activities based on vaccination status 1/ heraldsun.com.au/subscribe/news…
