Yea that doesn't work that easily for people who are high risk. And most high risk people has their booster over 5 months ago so any benefit they got from it has waned

High risk people can get shots/boosters more frequently.

My high risk teen had 3 shots (March '21, April '21, Sept. '21) before the booster was even released. He got his booster and will be eligible for another in May. We will evaluate if we do another with his doctor at that time.

You do realize there are no studies on taking 4-5-6-7 shots, right?

There are studies from Israel on 4th shots.

Separately, the idea of giving immunocompromised individuals more vaccine shots is not new. That’s why it was so ridiculous it took the FDA and CDC so long to authorize 3rd shots.

No, its not new and as someone immunocompromised I am enough of a human guinea pig for all the new medications that haven't been tested with the vaccine so no way I'm going to be a human guinea pig for this vaccine which has been proven to be useful at best a few weeks to a few months for hospitalization only. Many initial studies haven't been fully accurate as they don't include enough people over a long enough time period. They need to stop calling these vaccines and call them a preventative mediation.

Ok, sounds like you have a plan that works out for your family.

This exactly.

Autoimmune diseases don’t necessarily mean high-risk. And vaxxed+recovered means her risk is basically as low as it ever will be.

You don't get to decide that for her and don't know more than her or her doctor. Why would you want your child's teacher to get sick twice and be out of school.

She can get covid twice. And, fully vaccinated means nothing in terms of catching covid.

And you don’t get to decide whether kids mask in this classroom. It’s up to them.

Let’s let them decide whether to leave when the fire alarm goes off as well.

I didn’t say she wasn’t high risk. The OP made a statement that people with autoimmune diseases are super high risk. That’s not necessarily true. Autoimmune diseases don't necessarily impact your ability to mount a defense against infections. It depends on the disease.

The CDC recommended that immunocompromised people get their 4th shot 5 months after the 3rd shot.

Wearing a mask seems a small inconvenience compared to someone else’s safety. Since you know they are high risk, why wouldn’t you continue to mask around them?

If they're that high risk, they shouldn't be in the classroom. So, it doesn't figure into my decisions.

Hopefully they will quit and your kid will go without a teacher.

Apparently that’s what’s best for the teacher.

Anonymous wrote:One of my kid's teachers has asked the kids remain masked because of her medical condition. I have told my kids that the decision to mask / not mask is up to them, but I think it makes sense for DC1 to stay masked at least for these teacher's classes. Otherwise, if anything, I am gently encouraging them to unmask, and certainly at least for outdoor recess/sports. So, as is the case for most things in this pandemic, I think decisions should be situation specific...

Something is very wrong with you to tell your child that.
