Table 1).
Illness longer than 28 days was reported for 5 younger and 22 older children overall (
Table 1). Illness had resolved by 28 days in 274 [99.3%] of 276 younger, and in 408 [97.6%] of 418 older children with Alpha infection; and in 224 [98.7%] of 227 younger, and in 467 [97.5%] of 479 older children with Delta infection. For those children with longer illness duration, no new symptom developed after day 28.
Where the choice is between acquiring covid antibodies from the vaccine or the virus, I cannot see any rational decision that would not result in vaccination. I can understand that for some people these decisions are not rational though (which is 100% human).
