| 16 & 19 year olds are boosted. I just wish my 14 year old could get boosted as well. |

Mine was supposed to be boosted then got COVID a few days before. Mild case but really messed with school and an important extracurricular activity. So wish he could have been boosted and possibly avoided it. He will still get the booster and hopefully have super-immunity.
Also the myocarditis risk is lower with boosters than with 2nd shot, per Israeli data (slide 30 of this cdc deck): https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2021-11-19/06-COVID-Oliver-508.pdf |

| We'll probably get them the shot in Feb or Mar when they are 8 to 9 months post-vaccine. |

| Yes. 17 yo boosted. Had a sore arm for two days and a headache for one and that was it. Wish my 14 yo who was vaxed last spring could get boosted. |
