No, but it's a moot point as they are looking forward to it. Interesting question though.
Why not give them a choice? Provide them with info to research and come to their own conclusion. Be there for questions and have the prepare their reasons on why/why not. If you don't agree you can still be the adult and make them do what you want but I think k it would be a good exercise in finding their way thru the muck to make their own decision.
Exactly. Some people are allergic to pollen, various pollutants, or whatever. Some don't want to be exposed to flu or colds or anything like that. Some don't want to be recognized if they go to a ballgame after calling in sick.
My youngest is 19 so different situation but her mom is against the vaccine. I'm all for it and as of tomorrow will be fully vax'd up. Both my daughters asked my opinion on the matter and I told them why I was for it.
Absolutely agree it's an individual's choice. These choices though have downstream consequences that can and do affect others when they fall into the realm of public health. For example, when it comes to a teacher refusing to get vaccinated for no specific special individual health reason, as a parent I have an issue with that. IMO a teacher has a special responsibility to the children in their classroom and should be vaccinated. I understand some people are uncomfortable with a new type of vaccine but the science is pretty straight forward in how it operates. It's also not exactly new as it has been in development for over 10 years. I respect their decision, but I don't agree with it.
I hear you and don't disagree but they aren't getting fired for not being vaccinated. The school board just voted to allow kids to go to school maskless but still requires the teachers to mask up.
Nothing personal Beer and it pains me to say it, but I wouldn't be comfortable with someone not comfortable with the science behind the vaccine teaching my kid. I've had this same discussion with my adult kid. When in doubt, do what the smart people are doing.
None taken boss, I know how I look at it and feel the same way regarding the vaccine. She's still an excellent teacher, just not comfortable with the vaccine right now. I'm fully vax'd as of today so we've had some discussions on the subject that have been interesting.
Pretty much that. You'll either have a reaction (flu like symptoms) or not. Kinda hit or miss and no real way to say who will have a reaction and who won't.
definitely hydrate, before and after. no pain meds before. only tylenol is recommended after. don't rub your arm . do move it about, that say to move your shoulder/arm in circles.
How are you today?
I'm exhausted. Mild arm pain. No headache or fever. Thanks for asking. I'll take a nap now.
I am probably in the way more careful crowd since the start (masks, curbside ordering, avoiding bad places, went through gallons of Purell, etc.) but man, that’s something I couldn’t have done. My boys were good and only hung out with the same set of friends but we still played sports and hung out with close friends. Definitely feel pretty lucky and damn glad we are all vaccinated except my youngest who’s had his first shot already.
Two weeks later after the 1st shot. Sorry haven't posted much.
I have. And it has been completely disproven that childhood vaccines have any effect on likelihood of increased risk. I was wondering if there was something else that beer was speaking to.
And I can understand why she’s apprehensive - there was some misinformation and many doctors have no clue how to advise GBS patients. My wife’s doctor told her he would get back to her at one point. She’s fully vaccinated now but I think it’s smart for her to do her due diligence in this scenario.beer 30 said:
Yeah, that makes no sense. The 2nd shot isn’t something different. I have no clue why you’d do one shot and not the second. If they had no effects on the first shot, the second likely won’t do much at all, maybe some mild symptoms but you’ll sure have a much better chance at not getting COVID.
I think it’s majority true, especially if you continue the bold through the maybe mild symptoms. We get all the horrible anecdotes which are still gone in a few days in the worst cases (like herpes if you had CV before the vaccine). In my immediate family, there was a small amount of tiredness and two not feeling great. The main thing was a sore arm and more sore after the second shot. Unless you actually had CV, the second shot has, even in this thread, for the most part been not much to having a cold/mild flu for a day.
how so? can you point me to some evidence of this? my kid is scheduled for her 2nd shot next week, and i want to have as much information as possible, before that happens.
This was me after the second Moderna so while we don't know each other personally, you can update your total to two
There's 39 pages in this very thread talking about this.
The part that's wrong is "if you dont have a reaction to the first shot you likely wont from the 2nd".The people that had bad reactions to the 2nd usually didnt have a reaction to the first.
pretty sure he was moderna as well.This was me after the second Moderna so while we don't know each other personally, you can update your total to two
Just from tracking in this thread it seems the Moderna second shot has caused this reaction more often than the Pfizer, nothing scientific, just what's been posted in here. Still, the number of folks who have had little to no side effects from shot #2 is far greater than those of us who had issues with it. And yes, the issues are gone in 36hrs so even if you do have a problem, it's a very short, defined window.
i've read the entire thread. while i love me some fbg's, i don't get all my medical advice here. most, but not all.
