COVID-19 vaccines: medical concerns and recommendations

[Cookie Monster]

Has anyone had their young children vaccinated? My oldest is 5, almost 6, and her pediatrician said he only recommended children with health problems get the vaccine, so we haven’t had her vaccinated yet. Just curious if anyone else had different experiences/views.

Both my six year olds are 2 weeks out from their second dose. Our health care providers and our look said it was an easy slam dunk to get them vaccinated. No issues for either except a bit of a sore arm for a day but they didn’t complain.

My wife and I got boosters and I would expect my dudes to as well.

I got my Pfizer booster today. First shots were in February. I'm too old and decrepit to take a chance.

30+ hours later with no side effects.

30+ hours later with no side effects.

I got a Moderna booster yesterday after J&J in April. So far only a sore shoulder. My wife on the other hand was sick for a week after her Pfizer booster. Go figure.

Let me guess: somebody using the VAERS raw numbers as evidence of a monstrous conspiracy.

I got my Moderna booster Wednesday. I drank a lot of water as suggested by the nurse. I woke up about 0500 to go to the bathroom and was really unsteady walking, which I didn’t expect. I went back to bed and a couple hours later I was fine. There’s still a little soreness in my shoulder.

And? Is that article supposed to be THE answer?
Please enlighten me. Since you are so confident I assume you have peer reviewed studies that can answer the questions put forth by the Lt Col.
Oh wait. You didnt watch the videos but commented. Never mind.

Well, that would certainly be a statement that would result in me shopping around for a new pediatrician. It might be a function of my environment, but I almost exclusively get relief from medical professionals that they don't have to cajole me into authorizing vaccines for my child.

Ours said something similar. He said we can get it if we want. He highly recommended it to kids with any health issues. But said he is going to wait 3 months or so for his own healthy kids.
He also offered to get our kids checked for antibodies via a blood test if that would help us decide. He mentioned that it’s a vein puncture test at this time, but that finger prick tests will eventually be available.

I personally thought his honesty and nuance was refreshing.
