[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given how contagious Delta is, I think many of us have resigned ourselves that our kids will probably get it at school despite mitigation measures. It’s a terrifying premise after essentially hiding out from the disease for over a year. But most of what I’m reading says that kids don’t get super sick. We didn’t live in a risk free world before Covid, and despite my anxiety disorder, I’m not going to insist on one now.[/quote]

This is really it. I'd really love to avoid DC getting it before the child vaccine is approved, but at this point, it feels inevitable and I guess it's better for DC to develop some natural immunity before a worse variant comes along. So we'll keep wearing our masks and what will be, will be. [/quote]
I don't understand your resignation, considering the vaccine is 5 months away, and you've successfully shielded you child for 18 months, admittedly from lesser 'versions' of the virus. Not looking to shame, but I need to understand.[/quote]

You assume that the authorization is definitely coming. It may not. The risk to children under 12 is so low, that on the balance, vaccination isn't worth it.[/quote]

The approval is coming.[/quote]

I would LOVE to hear that with certainty. Is there a good source?[/quote]
