The decision to take any medical treatment should always be up to an individual.  The mRNA  "vaccines" neither stop transmission nor prevent the recipients from contracting Covid. In the case of children, the risk of significant side effects greatly outweighs the risk of dying or becoming seriously I'll from Covid.  By mandating the vaccine in children, parents will unknowingly place their children at risk of myocarditis or worse.  Mandating the vaccine additionally ignores science showing natural immunity is robust in protecting against the disease.
