My 11-year-old is due for a well-check later in the month.
Two shots for an 11 year old.
Thank you!

I waited for DS1 until older than 11 yrs old because of two reasons - 1) the vaccine was very new at that time and I wanted to know about adverse reactions to the shots etc and 2) I felt that at 15 yrs the body is stronger than at 11 yrs old. It was still within the age limit (so at 15 yrs old) and it was 3 doses within 6 months. I made sure DS1 was very healthy before the shots too. .
Same for DC2. Waited and then got 3 shots at 15.
My kids were not sexually active or had boyfriend/girlfriend, or casually dating or hooking up etc. It was pre-pandemic. I think I would do the same even now. If the kids are young and no one is being sexually active, I would just wait until the world is a bit more stable and secure.
Wait, you wanted a "stronger body?"
How many orders of magnitude more stimulation to the immune system would you guess stepping on a tack is, versus a single vaccine?
Yes, I have always got my kids vaccinated at the older end of the age range. They are older, have more body mass and more developed immune systems. At leasty kids did. I
Of course if they were sexually active at 11 or were kissing or petting their bf/gf then I would have got them the vaccine earlier
You have to make the decision based on what your kids are doing. You know your kids best.

Anonymous wrote:^ neither of them fainted. They were fine when they left the Office. It was an hour later younger ones eyes glasses over, he couldn’t eat dinner and went to bed at 5pm. Older one got dizzy at field the following morning and completely disoriented. They received it at a well-check. It was all very bizarre- but no doubt it was directly related to the vaccine.
