[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes our camp in Maine requires it.

My sisters kids go to a camp in a very red state. They are not. 
She is not sending them this year.

She must not understand science. [/quote]

NO she is an actual scientist so yeah she does...

You on the other hand don't. Grow up.[/quote]

I 100% do and actual scientists and doctors agree with me. Ask her for the actual data on risks and benefits of additional booster shots for healthy kids with two or three prior doses plus covid. This data doesn’t exist. The cdc and fda cannot give it to me and I’ve been asking for a year. Enlighten me and post the data here. You won’t be able to but I’m happy for you to prove me wrong. Literally prove me wrong with facts. [/quote]

Not the previous poster, but totally unsurprisingly, as the data starts to come in it does show that bivalent boosters decrease the risk of transmission (also, sadly unsurprisingly, that the effectiveness decreases over time)-- by 77% after 1 month and 47% after 2 months.  https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.18.23284739v1[/quote]

I am also asking to weigh that minimal benefit against the risks to healthy kids. 
I’m not clear that it’s worth it to mandate it for that minimal and short lasting benefit and lots of real doctors like Paul Offit agree with me. [/quote]

OP again, and I agree.  This is a nice study but it also shows that infection is more protective, and also only goes out 2 months, with protection dropping a lot between month 1 and 2.  I am still not understanding why my kid, who just had Covid and has also had three doses of vaccine, needs to get another before camp.  Especially when it then makes a potentially more effective fall booster less useful for said kid.

For those asking why we can't just pick another camp:  my kid adored this camp last year and has friends returning, and it is tailored to their interests.  We have also paid a large, nonrefundable deposit. [/quote]

they are requiring you to upload the vax card?[/quote]
