So for me reading the comments of Micheal Kurilla (the FDA panelist who abstained from approving vs just opening access) at least left me questioning the benefit.

(TLDR: long term data in effects of kids limited to 3 months , efficacy and protection in mid-term plus at smaller dose and the actual risk of health children as opposed to potential albeit unlikely side effects).

For kids with higher covid risk factors I’m onboard- it sure for the rest of children, I’m more likely to take a more critical view when it comes to my healthy 5 year old.

Thanks for starting this. I’m really not sure honestly but am curious to hear others points of view. I’m leaning towards vaccinating them for grandparent safety and secondary societal benefits, but the risk equation for kids themselves seems very different than adults so it’s not an immediately obvious choice like it is with adults

like

Absolutely getting them vaccinated for a few reasons:

1) My 1st grader is usually great about keeping his mask on, but lately he has started to slack a bit when he is outside in group settings. His friends and their parents are not as enthusiastic about mask wearing. We just had a confirmed exposure last week within that group of friends but he tested negative. It’s only a matter of time before another exposure happens, so I want him to be first in line.

2) My 9 year old’s competitive sports team is requiring it within 30 days of eligibility.

3) Check out today’s NY Times article on the rise in UK cases - a huge increase in cases among kids and the UK has generally been 6-8 weeks ahead of the US

4) Studies are showing 90 percent efficacy for Pfizer using 1/3 of the adult dose. I’ll take that risk over the risk of long haul covid for my kids.

Both my spouse and I are fully vaccinated (and have been pro-vax across the board for our kids until Covid). But we are leaning toward not vaccinating our healthy 7yo daughter for similar reasons as OP mentioned. There seem to be well documented known short term side effects (eg 8x fertility reduction) in adults and not enough longer terms studies to justify the risk of short and long term damage to our daughter’s health as compared to the risk of catching covid and complications related to it in healthy younger kids. So for now it’s wait and see for us.

Will vaccinate our current 1.5 year old as soon as allowed. I’m way more scared of long covid then the very very rare vax side effects

We are absolutely getting our daughter vaccinated.

No

Without a doubt. Even enrolled them in a trial

We probably will

We will eventually, but not right away. I would likely sign them up right away but my wife is more cautious (we are both fully vaccinated).

Their risk from Covid seems very low at this point, although I feel very little risk from vaccines in general. Ideally CDC gets through full approval and schools start mandating it going forward.

Haven’t decided. Whole family got it despite being vaccinated and wearing masks relatively more regularly than most.

Any thoughts (from those getting kids vaccinated) whether you’d vaccinate if your kid already got it?

I’d still vaccinate. It’s like getting a booster. If they get breakthrough COVId, the symptoms should be lessened. But best case is that it gives them better protection than just exposure alone.

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈
