[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why PP?  What is it about this booster just curious?[/quote]

My doctor and my kids' pediatrician weren't against the booster by any means, but they said not to expect it to have much of a benefit after about 2-3 months. I already knew that, but was a bit surprised they were both so up-front about it.[/quote]

Was he/she/they suggesting re-vaccinating every three months??[/quote]

No, certainly not.  These were all annual follow-up visits, and the flu and covid vaccinations were on their checklists to cover. They recommended the flu vaccine, and carried it in the office. They didn't recommend for or against the covid vaccine, but both acknowledged there wasn't data showing a great benefit, particularly for people previously vaccinated or infected.

The closest thing the pediatrician provided in terms of advice was over timing. He said if we ultimately did decide to to get the updated vaccine, we should think about when we'd want that 2-3 months of protection. This was back in November. He was basically suggesting that we wait until mid-December, if we were going to get it at all.[/quote]

Do you think they don't have the covid-19 new vax because they're scared of long term effects and don't want to be liable down the road????????????[/quote]

No. That's ridiculous on multiple levels.

The two offices don't carry the vaccine because there wasn't enough demand for it when they did carry the (previous) vaccines. We didn't talk about it in this visit, but last year they said they had to throw out a lot of doses. [/quote]
