Well, it gave me pause - because I then went home and checked the CDC recommendations - and I don't fall under the people who need to get one. So I sent a message back to my doctor and am awaiting response.

It's been six months, but nothing the pharmacist said to me was incorrect, it was all on the CDC site.

What are people doing for their kids under 5?

My boys both had covid twice so I'm not necessarily planning to go out of my way but if they offer it up during next well visit I'd probably say go for it (like I do with every other vaccine they recommend)

Same. My son has had COVID twice now. My wife is hesitant but if asked at the office she'd probably say yes.

Little C2I will be getting the jab as soon as she can. The only fear I have is dealing with the grouchiness that will likely result from it. Beyond that, zero hesitation.

Little guy is 23 months old. No side effects whatsoever in the first 24 hours.

I heard mini meow was 6th in the American League in hitting right-handers he was facing for the first time, after the seventh inning, at home.

The current wave in LA County just................ won't abate. Daily new cases have been in the mid- to high-four figures for like 6 weeks straight now. Thankfully hospitalizations and deaths are nowhere near that prevalent, or anywhere near as they were, proportionally, during the summer '21 spike.

Is there any data on single shot efficacy for tiny people? We leave for Mexico at the end of July and at this point it seems extremely unlikely that we would be able to get two doses in our son before we leave and even after that it takes a week to be fully protected. Our hope was to try to time the first dose so he would be as protected as possible before traveling, but I have been unable to find anything other than full dose data.

I would time it so you get back around day 18-20 from his initial vaccine. It’s important that you don’t miss the second dose timing. That’s about as good as you can do without getting both in beforehand.

In addition to what meow said, if you're looking for which one would be best for the one shot before you leave (assuming you're coming back in time for the second shot), go with Moderna. It's the higher dosage and would likely produce the higher immune response after one shot.

Seems like the immune response is pretty similar between the two? Anyone have the choice and which one did you go with? My son had Covid just before Memorial Day so we’re kinda riding the natural immunity. We’re planning on him getting in August before he goes to preschool.

I think the 3 dose Pfizer and the 2 dose Moderna did produce similar immune responses. The question though was which provided the better immune response after a single injection. I'd imagine the 25 microgram dose from Moderna would provide a stronger reaction than the 3 microgram does from Pfizer which is why Moderna only has 2 doses and Pfizer requires 3.

If you're in not in DD's situation where he wants the most protection after one injection, I'd say either are equally as good.

Right. I was thinking maybe the 3 dose might be better to spread out the protection over a longer period of time. I might be way off on that though if the first two don’t offer much without the third.

It’s just weird to me how they’re like “you need to get the two shots and then the first booster after six months” but they’re actively dissuading people from getting a second booster after about a year

why is it not just “get a booster every x months”?

If you're talking about the discussion at hand, it's because kids aren't the same as adults.

The under 5 dose schedule for Pfizer isn't 2 shots then a booster. It's a 3 shot regiment. Essentially pfizer underestimated how much would be needed for the kids under 5. When they got to the end of trials, they realized they didn't get the response they deemed necessary so they had two choices:

1. Up the dosage for the two shots which would require them to essentially start back at Phase 1 for trials.
2. Try a 3rd shot to see if it gave the results they wanted and if so, they could just go forward with that. If it failed, they could just go back to choice 1.

If you're talking about in general for adults, the likely answer is that Covid has already mutated well beyond that first version of the immunization. It will require an update pretty much every year or so moving forward. At this point, I'd rather those boosters only go to those that are compromised or overseas to help under vaccinated areas.

I meant generalized for adults. And I understand the mutation part of it but I mean, don’t we already deal with that with the influenza virus?
