Asking visitors to have Covid shots?

Now that I realize the baby won't have covid shot until 6 months, it seems dumb to tell these other people who are close friends and immediate family to go get a covid shot. We can't not leave the house for 6 months.

Yes, that was the original thinking when we thought the vaccines were highly effective at preventing infection. But through a combination of better data and different strains, we now know the vaccines are mostly effective at preventing serious illness in the vaccinated individual.
