Last night, the CDC officially approved the COVID19 vaccine for 5-11 year olds. Vaccines can officially go into arms today. Unofficially, it may take a few days or a week. There are a lot of eligible kids There are 28 million 5-11 year olds in the United States. Given that 1/3 of parents are eager for vaccines, this means ~9 million kids and parents want to be in line.
I was able to secure appointments for 5-11 this morning thru Walgreens and CVS also had appts. This will leave just my 2 year old unvaccinated in our family. Thank you for your helpful updates 💛
I'm still waiting for FDA full approval for age 12 in order to vaccinate our daughter (this is what her father and I agreed to). Do you have any information about when/if this will happen? I try searching online for info but haven't found any update and am feeling anxious.
I would be interested in any information that could be shared about the different "buffer" being used in the vaccine. I am having to try and explain why this is not actually a change in the formula and why that shouldn't impact the safety or efficacy of the vaccine. I can see why that is confusing to some, but don't have any great response on that specific issue.
Do you have data on effectiveness of pediatric vaccine after 1st dose and after 2nd dose? If so, can you send me the link. Thank you for all this information!
My 5 year old currently has covid. I’m not sure if I should get him vaccinated as soon as he’s recovered, or if it’s worth waiting a few months to lengthen the amount of time he has immunity?
