We vaccinate young children more to protect adults than to protect the children.

If they get covid there is a chance of long covid as well as Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).

There are afaik no contraindications for children with the vaccine, so why not vaccinate them?

They suspendend a batch of the vaccines, they still continue the vaccination of the children.

They are even thinking about using that specific batch for adults.

They don't - they significantly reduce hospitalizations.
