Haha you guys are funny. We went along with every one that he recommended. Just a straightforward Yes To All. The COVID vaccine wasn't on the list. No manual opt-out. There's a manual opt-in but I'm fine with things as they stand.

I should have known better than to mention that. For obvious reasons this one virus is a bit of a politicized subject and activates the outrage machine.

I've got no problem with our paediatrician. Rather like him, if I'm being honest. Wouldn't be going back for every subsequent appointment if I did have a problem. The "long lecture" bit is more affectionate than complaining.

COVID vaccination for healthy children is not necessary because the benefit is small compared to the risk (but still considered positive and vaccination is recommended when there are certain risk factors). It is indeed unfortunate that this discussion is politicized.
