Why beat yourself up? Your kids are fine and did receive some level of protection from the shots. Don’t let slanted media make you feel bad. |

Same, including the side effects. Mine got the original two shots but nothing more. They’re fully vaxxed including flu shots otherwise. |

| Yes. We all got flu and Covid shots back in the fall. We got pretty serious about it when a neighbor lost all four grandparents (the oldest being 74) and my sibling lost two coworkers (early 40s). A neighbor teen also is experiencing severe IBS symptoms and brain fog after getting COVID in the summer. |

Stop it Those shots are safe You don’t want to give it to your kid you suck as a parent and are a fool to listen to RFK jr and MTG . Really showing your brain cells are dead OP Put your kids up for adoption you have nothing but stupidity and bad patches to give them |

DP. I don’t listen to RFK or MTG, but I’m not getting those boosters for my teens. Three months of marginally effective protection against an infection that gives them cold symptoms? We’ll pass. |

We get yearly flu shots. I and my kids had the initial 2 covid shots and then a booster. We stopped with that several years ago. My husband has gotten the covid shot once a year because he travels a lot. For 2 years in a row the kids and I and my husband got covid in the fall-VERY MILD and we figured that created some immunity. This fall they didn't get covid, but they got it for a day each at the start of break. We only tested because our elderly relative asked us to and turned out an illness milder than the common cold was covid. Their reactions to covid shots are far worse than this and my son had such a rapid heart beat after the booster years ago I almost took him to the ER.
The experts are divided about whether healthy people need a yearly covid shot. SCIENCE is divided so no need to yell science. I have worked in research as a grad student and there is a lot of corruption in the field too. For the record when it comes to regular vaccines for kids, I am provaccine, but see no issue with adapting the schedule. I also do think there is plenty of evidence a small subset of the population is vulnerable to certain vaccines. |

Yes, the US is the only country who dealt with COVID and it’s all linked to our politics 🙄🙄 |

Regular vaccines YES. We do flu shots too. Have dropped covid shots as we seem to get covid anyway and have antibodies at this point. Pertussis went around our school. PERTUSSIS! We were fine because of course everyone is vaxed and boosted for that. Newborns are most vulnerable and can DIE so it's seriously effed up not to get the TDAP and boosters.

I don’t know if I should be answering this question because I wasn’t against the first Covid shot. But anyway…
I do not force my children to get flu or Covid vaccines when it’s not a pandemic and grandparents are dying left and right. So… Since the original Covid vaccine, I get my Covid, flu and shingles (this year) because I don’t wanna get sick. I got it two weeks before Thanksgiving because that is the time I’m afraid of getting sick. I do not force my teens to get any of the shots, but one of them has had Covid and/or the flu every holiday except for this past one since 2020. My oldest has gotten Covid and the flu every fall since Covid. So no I don’t force them to because they can get over Covid and the flu in 4-6 days. My friends who have gotten Covid or the flu recently are down for about two weeks and I’m not gonna do that. All my late 20s early 30s nieces and nephews get the shots cause they don’t want their kids dying. |

I have one child who is immuno-depressed, plus this year I'm pregnant, so we're in the habit of getting all the shots.
Vaccines don't protect you from infection. They protect you from complications of infections, which can happen occasionally even in healthy, young people. So don't stress about it regarding exact timing, but personally I would get yearly flu and Covid shots. The Pfizer has less side-effects than the Moderna. |

| Yes, delayed this year just because did not prioritize it but then a healthy relative who is in their late 30s got covid and was hospitalized late last year and then another older relative died from covid. Heard similar stories from neighbors and coworkers. It became a bigger priority after that. I have not heard of covid this bad anecdotally since the first few years. But now they don't track it so we don't really know. |

| Nobody in our house got it. I was very PG first covid wave, got PG again so I had two covid PGs. I was not having the no safety data in pregnant women and babies. Shortly after 2nd baby was born we went out of "lockdown" and got covid. The 3mo baby was fine. The 5 year old perfectly simulated textbook appendicitis. I think I got a touch of myocarditis because I got a couple instances of chest pain with exertion. However, as far as I know we have never got covid again. If we have, it was mild colds. I don't regret not vaccinating. I know of so many instances of people having adverse reactions to the vaccine and the antibody mediated immunity from the vaccines is not as good as the cellular immunity from natural infection. |
