I think “minuscule” is an understatement. I knew of 2 teenagers who were hospitalized for myocarditis - both healthy and played sports at high school. Compared to that I know of no one who has had issues with the polio, norovirus, hib, hepatitis, etc. Even the often “dreaded” mmr is ok. I’ve known of kids having sustained reactions to mmrv.

I think general aches and chills were not an issue. But myocarditis and blood clots should be looked at and not brushed under “minuscule”



I am sure it is scary to see young people have reactions to vaccines but if you compare the rates of the side effects in comparison with the rate in those who do get COVID you'll see that, in that context, they are indeed minor
