But we also know that most kids don't get the RSV vaccine and that it is short-lived in effectiveness. I think my son had to get the RSV shot annually until he was 3-4. If the vaccine for RSV had the staying power of the measles vaccine, I think you could make the same argument that we wouldn't all get it.
There is no RSV vaccine. There is a passive monoclonal antibody shot that is given monthly during the RSV season to very high risk infants. They still get RSV but it does pretty well at keeping them out of the PICU and alive.

Just piping in on my professional point of view at this time:

If your child has a risk factor and COVID is prevalent in your region- get it.

If your child has a risk factor and COVID is low where you are-- wait a month or two.

If your child has no risk factors wait at least a few months if not longer.

The EUA was specifically designed to prove efficacy not safety. Only 2300 kids got the vaccine which is enough to show short term efficacy but not to evaluate safety with rare side effects.

I'm very optimistic that the safety data will look excellent in a few months due to the lower dose. I'm hopeful this concept will be extended to the teen group as well as I don't think they need their current dose for protection and the myocarditis risk is no joke.

My only long term concern is duration of protection with the lower dose in this age group, only time will tell for that. Also curious to see what efficacy in preventing community spread which has been iffy with the Delta variant in the older population.
In the Bay Area a local pediatrician group vaccinated 1000 patients last Saturday from 5-11. It's interesting to me though not surprising how regional this is.

There's no such thing as an RSV vaccine

And it is absolutely accurate to say that a date with the vaccine, a date with COVID or both is a virtual certainty for everyone. We can know this purely on how contagious the new variants are. The delta variant is as contagious as chicken pox.

On further review, you are totally correct. Synagis is not a vaccine and I apologize for any misinfo.

The point I was trying to make was really that if you have a vaccine with long lasting immunity we don't all have to get infected. It's not inevitable.

I fully agree with your last point (vaccine or infection). I don't agree that infection is inevitable which is what some were arguing up thread. My apologies again for misidentifying Synagis as an RSV vaccine (although now I know why it was so short lived).

If we had a vaccine with long lasting immunity you'd be correct. We don't as of yet for Covid. Maybe we get there, but I have my doubts.

Why do you assume they're afraid of the vaccines? Maybe they just don't want it or feel they need it.

Why are you so flippant about people being excluded from society for not getting a vaccine they may well not need?

I know Bay Area people are lead by fear mongering leaders/politicians and apparently more than 50% of the residents are happy to submit to them.

People not wanting or needing a vaccine is not fear.

I don't just go get random injections of medical treatments for the heck of it but that doesn't meant I am afraid of them…just don't need them. I get what I need and only what I need.

I think government mandating or heavily influencing vaccine is wrong.

Do you really believe that those who have not been vaccinated are staying at home in fear? It's quite the opposite. People who haven't been vaccinated have been out living their lives all along.

Apart from the kids having to do virtual/online school from March 2020 until June 2020 we haven't done anything differently. Out and about 100% and not worried in the slightest. Going the the gym, restaurants, and all the kids' activities without a concern. Both my wife and I got covid after Thanksgiving last year and it was a big nothing, not even a bad sinus infection. And that's as a fat dude (but otherwise healthy, however I've lost about 35-40# since then and am still working on losing more). We had it at the same time so we couldn't isolate from the kids and they never had a sniffle. Since then I can't even count the number of close contacts for us and the boys with zero issue whatsoever. With the vaccine mandate and our respective employers mandating vaccination we felt we had to go ahead and get it done (J&J). Thankfully that went smoothly other than a day of feeling crappy afterwards although I had pretty bad diarrhea for about a week afterwards which is a known side-effect of the J&J and that sucked. Anyway, we're still a hard "no" on the boys (11 & 7) on getting the vaccine- they're completely healthy, active, and no underlying issues whatsoever so we don't see the point at all.

Pretty sure he's suggesting unvaccinated not allowed based on where he is.

CA is crazy. I live completely normal in San Diego. I only wear a mask when I fly or leave SD. Was in LA Monday and had to show vax card twice to eat. Can't go anywhere w/o mask and vax card in LA.

This. There are 3 - 6 year old kids who know nothing in their life but living in fear and seeing their parents cower at the thought of this virus and causing them to bleach fruit and scream at people who do not wear masks.

If they are ever able to un-do the damage mentally to some of these kids, it will likely take years. My sad prediction is we have a new normal for a large number of kids and that is a heightened sense of concern/panic + masks + gallons of hand sanitizer....

People that care about others vax status are basically politicians and extremists. Even the far left liberals I know don't care.

The vitriolic responses to someone sharing that their children are doing well after being vaccinated is pretty sad. As though we don't all wish those children well. My family (including children) have been vaccinated. Most of us are perfectly healthy and at low risk of long term repercussions from COVID. However, if we catch it, the vaccine will mitigate that risk and reduce the period in which we are likely to infect others. Perhaps that will prevent us from infecting someone like my grandmother, who died from COVID in May.

Don't lump all of CA together. I live in San Diego. In the last two months I've traveled to Columbus, Philly, Vegas and LA. All way more restrictive than SD. My kids are still forced to mask in schools, but no where else do we mask here.

Report back in 10 years.


What untoward side effects of the vaccine do you expect in ten years? Be specific.


Im 99% sure, nothing.

But I'm 99% sure nothing will come from covid for a 0-17 year old, too. So it's a bit of a moot point

Did not realize this board had been overrun with anti-vaxxers who have zero clue what they are talking about. If the DOCTORS, you know who went to school for this for years endorse the vaccine (which has been in development for decades, not months) then I am fine taking it.

Vaccine hesitancy or even vaccine hostility is absolutely mind-boggling. It's a hoard mentality based on FEAR and politics. It's disgusting.


There are plenty of drs who are against it for children.
