Lingering after effects risk is not really zero, I would go for initial doses but not necessarily indefinite boosters of current shot. However slight is your worry about kid catching COVID, it will be a little less with some protection, resulting in fuller enjoyment of life. All in exchange for at most 2-3 days of side effects after shots.
- slaw 4y agoKids could have more side effects from covid vaccine than from covid itself. I am not a kid but have long term, almost a year, side effects from Pfizer vaccine.
- cat_plus_plus 4y agoWe are talking statistics, individual experiences can always be different. If you personally had bad reaction to shots, certainly seems reasonable to not get more at this stage. Whether such reactions are likely to be heritable is above my pay grade to tell. I personally had bad lingering effects from swine flu, if shots prevented that for COVID, I am grateful to be spared that experience.
- slaw 4y agoI don't see any statistics that say covid has more long time side effects than covid vaccine.
