[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a mom of older teens so its been a while. My sister is having a baby and her ob/gym said anyone around the baby within the first two months must have a flu shot, covid shot and Dtap.

I've had enough covid shots and had covid a few times. I was not planning to get me or my kids another shot.

Is this standard for newborns now?[/quote]

Your sister is asking you to help protect her baby.  Who cares if it’s standard!  If you don’t want to comply wait to see the child until you sister feels it’s safe.  It sounds like you are looking for a reason to fight with your sister and have “proof” she’s wrong.  It’s her kid. Let her do what she feels is best.

FWIW - I didn’t ask people to vaccinate and my kids were fine, but my youngest is 12. I did ask them to be healthy and wash their hands.[/quote]

OP here - one thing I don't understand is that just because you have the recent covid shot doesn't mean you won't get Covid. If Covid is really the concern shouldn't  they make everyone who enters the house test for covid?   Family members will be walking off planes minutes before seeing them. [/quote]

Ok, OP—I’m calling you out for being cagey.

You say you’re not anti Covid vax, but you also say you’ve had “enough” Covid shots without saying when your last shot was.  And you’re doing that deliberately.  And now here you are saying everyone should just be tested before seeing the baby rather than be vaccinated.

So clearly, what is going on here is not that you hadn’t “planned” to get a Covid shot—you simply don’t WANT to get one.  You’re AGAINST getting another shot. Right?   [/quote]

No. I am against having my teenagers get another  shot when it is not recommended for their demographic[/quote]

Then they need to wait. JFC. You are worried about your teen safety but not a newborns. Gotcha. You are their mom but dont degrudge the new mom for protecting hers. Just say the kids wont see baby until he/she is fully vaccinated. Its called risk and benefit analysis. [/quote]
