"Can't live in lockdown forever" BUT DON'T SACRIFICE OUR YOUNG. Restrictions mustn't lift until young have vaccine access equity; they carry highest caseload yet lowest vaccination. Without vaccination, young will have highest caseload & therefore highest numbers in hospital.

Yes they will carry the highest caseload if not vaccinated, because the older pop is protected by vaccination,right? Have I missed something? Your data show very low risk of serious illness in kids as measured by hospitalisation though. Also, let’s get our kids vaccinated ASAP.

1. My elderly parents medically require Pfizer. I’m immunocompromised & looking after them. I tried to get them in on my appointment as I was booked in with siblings who ended up getting theirs earlier, & didn’t want to waste the Pfizer or go out multiple times chasing vaccines.

Just like they all get current flu shot??? Isn't the flu transmissible and could kill elderly and the compromised? I have concerns of kids having to wear masks all day and effects on their developing lungs apart from psychological damage.

Why is this Adam guy having a go at you? Doesn't look like your graph says what he is saying it does.

Yes agree no point in getting to 70 or 80% vaccinated and 20% young people haven’t been eligible for vaccinations.

If we want our kids to live we're going to have to increase their pocket money until they count as valuable Harvey Norman customers.
