Please post the latest on Covid vaccines for kids

Teens are dying from myocarditis https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/sta...149991939?s=20. My boys had the normal kid response. We thought we had a allergy/cold they found out that my older and myself have antibodies my 12 yr old had same symptoms for a day ish. I’m not even entertaining this shot until they figure out the side effects

Are we sure of this though or have we just not seen it in under 16 because they haven't opened the vaccines up to under 16 for as long yet?

There hasn't been enough time elapsed to collect data on the under-16s. The meeting this Friday is going to be an important one.

That's pretty harrowing. It sounds like a huge part of the tragedy is not recognizing the symptoms. What I've heard is that treating quickly is a major factor and I think that's a huge part of why we need to talk about this.

I can also say we aren’t seeing an uptick in myocarditis in Boston area hospitals in teens and we have a high vaccination rate.

DS2 is 12 and had his 2nd dose yesterday. So far, nothing but a sore arm. It's been about 20 hours. I really pushed the Gatorade on him.

Thank you for this. I've been following the stories closely as I have 2 boys (15 and 12) in the potentially higher risk category. There may very well be a link and evaluating the possibility needs to be prioritized. That said, both my boys have been vaccinated. 13 days out from the second shot for DS1 and 4 days or DS2. Both boys had some fatigue and a sore arm for a day but that's it. I'll breathe a little sigh of relief next week but it's not keeping me up at night.

DD has now had her second dose of Novavax. The first dose was just a little arm soreness, the second dose was very similar to my reaction during the Moderna trial. She has a fever, headache, and swelling around the injection side for several days. Fever and headache lasted less than 24 hours, and swelling was completely resolved in 4 days. And now we know she's definitely not in the placebo group.

Congrats to her! Please thank you for doing that. I'm sure you feel good knowing she got the real one. DS2 is in the Pfizer trial and I'm hoping he gets the real thing but no indication from his first shot that he did.

Interesting that shots that are even different types (ie. I believe I have read novavaxx is not an MRNA but also different from J&J) have similar reactions.
