- **Who:** Greg Hunt, 10 December 2021 (ATAGI 5–11 rollout)
- **URL:** https://pmtranscripts.pmc.gov.au/release/transcript-43700
- **Date:** 10 December 2021
- **Publisher:** Prime Minister / Minister for Health media release
- **Title:** New Approval Allows Australia To Rollout Covid-19 Vaccines For 5 To 11-Year-Olds
- **Captured:** 2026-08-14

## Verbatim

> Australians can be reassured that by vaccinating their children against COVID-19 they have done everything possible to keep their child safe from this virus.

> Vaccinating children can also help reduce community transmission and help prevent children passing the virus on to younger siblings, grandparents and the wider community.

Same lines in `news-kids.html` (news.com.au, 10 January 2022 rollout).

## The other meter

Same TGA page already filed: transmission **unclear**; trial did not test asymptomatic; duration unclear. “Everything possible” and “safe from this virus” are a hard stop. A two-dose course was not a force field.

Omicron wave, January 2022, hit as the 5–11 rollout began. School-age infection was not rare among the vaccinated.

## What this file does not do

It does not file “do not vaccinate children.” It files “everything possible” / “safe from this virus” as a guarantee the trial never wrote.
