I don’t think you should try to convince them to get vaccinated or to take this vaccine. They’re 12 and likely not legally of age to make their own medical decisions.

You should educate them on the history of diseases and vaccinations and why this one is safe (no live virus). There are lots of resources. Just give them facts. You can’t stop all anti-vaccers

I agree. Note that there are many vaccines and some of them use live virus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccine#Authorized_an... , but IIUC France will use the Pfizer that is a mRNA vaccine.

One thing that I heard too many times [here in Argentina] is that the vaccine will modify your DNA. It's false. I don't understand how people thought that, but the press coverage sometimes in very confusing.
