Also on Sunday, the Israeli Pediatric Society published a new position paper reiterating their support for the vaccine, and addressing the issue of possible side effects.
Prof.
Tzachi Grossman, the head of the organization, and its colleagues wrote
that the risk for a child to develop a severe form of COVID if infected
– which stands at 1:3000 – outweighs that of developing a myocarditis –
which according to US data for ages 12-17 stands at 1:16,000 (according
to Israeli data for the age group 16-19, the occurrence was 1:6,000).
