Would you get your five year old vaccinated for COVID?

My wife and I (mid 30's) are vaccinated but have not gotten our kids vaccinated (oldest is five years old). Our assessment is that the risk profile for young children seems to be a lot lower than adults as far as COVID goes. This is even more true now that omicron is basically just the cold and even the vaccines don't do much to protect against contracting omicron. In addition, the unknown long term effects of the vaccine, especially myocarditis, for kids seem to pose a greater risk than COVID at this point.
Am I crazy for telling my liberal mother and sister, who are trying to badger me into getting my 5 year old vaccinated, to mind their own business? It would seem that two parents could rationally conclude that the vaccine made sense for them at the time (spring '21 for Delta variant) while it doesn't make sense for young children at this time (weak omicron variant and vaccines not really stopping contracting omicron).

Hearts not fully developed. No long term study. No.

Risk for healthy people in their mid 30’s isn’t much higher than your 5 year old.

Nope

Absolutely not. My daughter is 7, and no way in hell.

Absolutely no damn reason to.
There is no risk of serious injury or death.
They will struggle more with a cold they got from Kindergarten.
All the fear is a lie and the data does not support their goals.

Nope it's a perfectly reasonable stance to not get kids vaccinated for a virus they have almost zero risk from. My 15 yr old isn't vaccinated.

See if you can triple vaxx.

frick no. Same answer as I gave for my 14 year old.
They have a greater chance of dying from the flu than covid, especially Omichron.

Because five year olds are in danger of dying or other adverse affects from Covid?
Absolutely not.

I'm fighting the same battle. We have 5 year old twin girls that I have no interest in getting them vaccinated. My wife does not have an opinion and would get them vaccinated if I didn't care. Her mom and sisters that she is very close to are and near militant in their nagging about this trying to convince us get them vaccinated.
I'm not only pretty firm in my feelings about it, but an also an a-hole who has no love loss for any of them with the exception of my wife.

If I am not willing to get the jab myself no way would I subject a child to it.
