Not really, < 12 is a big concern.

How so? The risk of a bad outcome from children under 12 catching COVID is basically nil.
A family can spread it to their child, who brings it to school and then home to their family. I agree the chances are lower, but even if the kids themselves don't have severe cases or bad outcomes, if they have any symptoms they are probably spreading it to the rest of their household.
But the older members of the household can be vaccinated.
