[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s not necessary to require the most recent Covid shot. Flu and TDAP, absolutely, plus hand washing and no visiting if you’re even a little sick.

But Covid is generally not that dangerous for babies and my understand of the shots is that they more improve immune response/seriousness of illness but NOT transmission. So I don’t think they even help protect your baby. Check with your doctor, but my guess is that’s not an important [/quote]

Please stop spreading misinformation- Covid, flu, rsv are deadly for babies. [/quote]

I’m the PP. Flu and RSV are deadly for babies. Covid may not pose as high a risk to babies. I’m hardly an anti-science extremist. I’m saying talk to your doctor. But my guess is, particularly given the way that Covid vaccines work, that that may not be a hill with dying on.

By a loose definition of "deadly". The infection fatality rate of influenza in infants is about 1 in 10,000.

That's similar to the annual risk of an adult dying in a car accident.[/quote]
