P-06-1252 Calling on the Welsh Government not to vaccinate children 12 years and younger against COVID-19

This petition was submitted by Richard Taylor, having collected a total of 478 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

Healthy children are at low risk from COVID-19 yet face known and unknown risks from COVID-19 vaccines. Rare, but serious, adverse events and deaths are being reported to monitoring systems around the world. Official guidance is updated as the side-effects become more apparent. Giving COVID-19 vaccines to healthy children to protect adults is unethical and unjustifiable. The Government has an ethical duty to act with caution and proportionality.
