[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are now saying early 2022. But it is pretty crappy of you to pin your hopes on little kids saving you instead of adults. [/quote]

As a parent of a child under 12, I'm not looking for him to "save me".  I am looking to protect him and save [i]him[/i] from the a$$hats who refuse to get vaccinated by choice.  Beyond that, I couldn't care less if they don't care enough to take care of themselves.[/quote]

He already is, PP, by his age. [/quote]

The hell he is.  Plenty of kids have gotten COVID and many have been hospitalized. [/quote]

the number of 5-11 year olds in the trial is so small (just increased to 3000) that they aren’t even really going to be able to compare the risks of Covid to the risks of vaccination. We’re likely not going to vaccinate our 9 year old until there’s more evidence - probably 3-4 months at a minimum after the initial EUA. And I’m sure I’m not alone. The uptake is going to be very slow for kids. [/quote]

The FDA is expanding the trial size, so I think they understand the desire to get this population vaccinated.  If you want to hold off on your 9 year old, that's your choice.  I know plenty of parents with 9-11 year olds that can't wait to get their kids vaccinated.[/quote]

+1 I have 9 and 11 year old daughters.  We did preventative full cardio workups for them last week (echocardiogram and EKG) and their cardiologist said he would definitely recommend the shot for kids under 12 if it were his kids.  We were already planning on it, but it was good to hear from a heart specialist in terms of risk vs. benefit.  [/quote]
