[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you SAH or have a FT nanny for a younger child, are you sending your older one to pre-K for the socialization and kindergarten readiness? Or keeping out due to Delta? Curious where everyone’s head is on this.[/quote]

Absolutely sending. There will always be a variant. No guarantee a pediatric vaccine will be available any time soon. Even if it is, it likely won’t be a game changer given the Moderna efficacy for 12-17 year olds was only 55% and most pediatric cases are mild to asymptomatic.

“In the mRNA-1273 group, systemic adverse reactions were reported in 68.5% of the participants after the first injection and in 86.1% after the second injection; grade 3 events were reported in 4.4% and 13.7%, respectively. The most common systemic reactions were fatigue, headache, myalgia, and chills. Headache was reported in 44.6% of the participants in the mRNA-1273 group after the first injection and in 70.2% after the second injection, as compared with 38.5% and 30.2%, respectively, in the placebo group. Fatigue was reported in 47.9% of the participants in the mRNA-1273 group after the first injection and in 67.8% after the second injection, as compared with 36.6% and 28.9%, respectively, in the placebo group. After the second injection, among the mRNA-1273 recipients with available data, grade 3 fever occurred in 46 of 2477 participants (1.9%) and grade 4 fever occurred in 1 of 2477 participants.”

“ The vaccine efficacy of mRNA-1273 according to the less stringent CDC definition of Covid-19 with an onset of 14 days after the second injection was 93.3% (95% CI, 47.9 to 99.9) in the per-protocol population and 92.7% (95% CI, 67.8 to 99.2) for cases with an onset of 14 days after the first injection in the mITT1 population (Figure 3 and Fig. S2). For the secondary objectives of prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection with an onset of 14 days after the second injection (in the per-protocol population) and 14 days after the first injection (in the mITT1 population), the vaccine efficacy estimates for mRNA-1273 were 55.7% (95% CI, 16.8 to 76.4) and 69.8% (95% CI, 49.9 to 82.1), respectively (Figure 3).
The vaccine efficacy of mRNA-1273 was 39.2% (95% CI, −24.7 to 69.7) for asymptomatic infection with an onset of 14 days after the second injection (per-protocol population) and 59.5% (95% CI, 28.4 to 77.3) with an onset of 14 days after the first injection (mITT1 population).”

So no, not waiting around for a vaccine to get my daughter to preschool.[/quote]
