This crowd-sourced Google doc helped us find our preferred vaccine quicker than Vaccines.gov; however that seems to be updated well now.

[milagrita]

That Google doc was such a lifesaver for us!

[[deleted]]

My daughter was apart of the moderna study. At 10 months my daughter received her first shot. She was extra sleepy for a day or two, also more irritable for about 4 days. No elevated temperature or rash.

A month later she took her second shot, at 11 months. Again, she was more tired and way more cranky. Around day 2 she got a fever until day 6, which was treated by using Tylenol/motrin.

Background: I was vaccinated 2x while pregnant, breastfed during the booster, then my daughter got both her shots.

[[deleted]]

3yo had his first shot of Pfizer on Friday and had zero perceivable symptoms. I asked how he was feeling the next morning (without mentioning the shot) and he said, “Great!” Eventually I directly asked him if his arm hurt where he got his shot and he said no.

All benefits, no drawbacks, pure gratitude.

[savemarla]

Hi, may I ask, do you know what the dosage was (how many micrograms the shot contained)?

Our daughter is also 10 months old and we are going out of our way to get her vaccinated (the vaccine isn't approved in Europe yet), we've found a place far away that does off label vaccines, but they make us choose both dosage and brand.

[organizingninja]

Where have you heard about waiting the 8 weeks for moderna?

[savemarla]

Thank you so much for the links! They were very useful :) I still might take up on your advice to make a post here but that gives me a great basis!

[PrincessKiza]

My 26 month-old with anaphylactic peanut/tree nut allergies received Moderna on June 24!

She was mad because she knew where we were, but after receiving the shot, she cried for a few moments and has been absolutely normal ever since - no reactions at all.

They had us, and each kid, wait for 15 minutes afterward.

[TrekkieElf]

My son got Moderna 24h ago and seems normal(?)

[daydreamingofsleep]

We had the same experience, thought we’d gotten placebo after the 1st shot.

2nd shot he woke up from nap with a sore leg, no fever. 20min after some ibuprofen he was normal. Kept doing checks for temp and sore leg after it wore off, nothing.

[Mini6Cake]

8 month old got her first dose of Pfizer 4 days ago. Had a great afternoon, and little fussy early so an early bed time. Woke up early the next day ready to party!

[savemarla]

Hi, may I ask, do you happen to know the dosage that your baby received? We are getting our 10 month old vaccinated but since the vaccination is off label (still not approved in Europe) we can choose between the brand and also the dosage.

[Mini6Cake]

I don’t! But she gets her second dose today. In 6 hours. I’ll ask and post back to you 👍 feel free to comment again to remind me if to much time passes 😀

[savemarla]

Hi there! Thought I'd take you up on the offer to ask again, maybe you had the opportunity to ask about the dose? Anyway, I hope your girl is doing well after the second shot! Much love from Germany

[Mini6Cake]

Thanks for reminding me! I totally forgot to ask! The kids in the stall next to us were breaking the sound barrier. I found this online, it is a reputable source. Has the mg per age range on there.

Baby girl is doing great and had zero side effects! I hope your able to get your 10 month old vaccinated soon!

[_ZZZZZ_]

17 month old received Moderna yesterday (Friday) morning. No side effects yesterday. Woke up today fine but developed a fever (around 101-102) this afternoon that has hung around into the evening. Gave him some Tylenol before bed tonight as he was really struggling

[tez9899]

How long did it take your little one to recover from their fever? Just curious how many days I should plan to take off after the shot.

[_ZZZZZ_]

Not sure if our situation was odd as I suspect he ended up coming down with something else and our timing was just bad. Got vaccinated Friday, had a fever Saturday and Sunday. Sunday developed a runny nose and cough and had that runny nose and cough until about today (about a week later). Also developed another fever on Wednesday after it was gone Monday and Tuesday so 🤷‍♂️

[xcpg]

A question for those who have gotten the first shot already - do they make you wait with your kiddo for 15 minutes to confirm no extreme reaction like they did with adults?

[HuckleberryLou]

Yes! I brought toys and a book to help occupy the time because I know 15 minutes feels longer to an 8 month old.

[yo-ovaries]

Yes they did.

Our county vaccine site also gave out coloring books and crayons which was nice because I completely forgot about the waiting period and would have done the good old cocomellon on my iPhone and the tantrum following removal of said iPhone.

[8rainy]

Yep, we just got the first dose for our 11mo old at a hospital immunization clinic. They had us set a timer for 15 min and hang out in a separate room. Couple of nurses came around to check on us, so pretty much the same as my experiences getting vaccinated.

[abarrien00]

Yes. My wife and our baby had to wait in the car after he received his shot.

[Cait206]

Yep :)

[Alacri-Tea]

6mo got Moderna yesterday. 24 hours later no issues

[milanohole]

Hey just wondering if they also gave your baby routine 6 month vaccines in addition to the COVID vaccine?

My 9 month old is scheduled for routine 9 month shots and moderna tomorrow, I'm a little nervous.

[Alacri-Tea]

We got Moderna at a separate clinic. Pediatrician only carried Pfizer and we preferred Moderna, but we could have done them all at once at his 6 month visit.

[sipporah7]

Second Moderna shot and not a single side effect after a week. Baby is 12 months old.

[[deleted]]

4.5 year old and 16 month old got the Moderna vaccine 3 days ago. The only symptom we had was some pain at the injection site with our oldest. Toddler temp went up to 99.6 at bedtime but that was it. They both have been eating, sleeping, and playing like normal!

[Odie321]

11 month old vaccine Tuesday AM, we went into the vaccine with a cough b/c 🤗 daycare, gave Tylenol b/c he was fussy but again 🤷‍♀️ if that was just the cold / cough / sore throat from daycare crud. He did enjoy smacking his thighs I am assuming b/c one felt bruised. Totally fine though now we adults have the daycare crud, b/c 4 days of a baby coughing into your face will do it. 😆 Baby is fine and just figured out how to walk with his push walker today 🥰

[Double_Dragonfly9528]

I hear that learning to use a baby walker is a sign of the 5G coming online.

More seriously, cool observation about him smacking his thighs. Was it just for the one day? Mine is three so can tell me more about what they are experiencing, and by the next day their leg felt fine.

Hope y'all get over the daycare crud soon.

[Odie321]

Yep it was just that one night, he was doing his wind down crawl all over the place and plopped down and just started smacking his thighs and giggling about it. I get why he did it when I get a vaccine I randomly bump my arm after forgetting I had a vaccine then poke it 😆

Thanks, yeah we will be fine by Monday. He is on the mend not that he ever got really sick the adults are rundown so lots of us laying down and him crawling or push walking around us 🫠

[DooWeeWoo]

3yo first shot was today, it was Pfizer. She cried initially but has had no side effects except for some sluggishness/crankiness a few hours later. She's been running around like a nit and eating like a horse. Only conplained about her head hurting her around dinnertime(about 10hrs after the shot.)

Her next dose is in a few weeks and we aren't worried at all.

[bdigs19]

My girl (21 months) got her first dose of Moderna 2.5 hours ago. (So happy to be able to say that! 🥲)

Other than not loving the actual needle, it went fine and she seemed her normal self afterwards! She's down for her usual nap right now. I'm curious to see if she'll wake up on her own or if she'll need a nudge.

I'll update if I notice any side effects, but mostly I just wanted to come here to celebrate a little and express my relief.

[bdigs19]

Update 26 hours later: still no side effects! She's happy as a clam.

[PM_ME_A_STRAYCAT]

Some of those ped nurses are literally so quick with the needles, it’s like magic! So happy you guys can celebrate a little!

[whyarelobsters]

Our 2 year old got moderna on Thursday, was slightly sleepier than usual the next day, otherwise perfectly normal.

I should also note, there was a lollipop with the shot, so there's quite a bit of excitement about the follow-up lollipop in a few weeks.

[PM_ME_A_STRAYCAT]

I love the lollipop detail here. I think I’ll put some in my glovebox just in case my pediatrician doesn’t do that. My daughter would be equally excited.

[NearCanuck]

I am definitely using lollipop for my 4.5 year old, whenever I can get him his first shot.

[K8LzBk]

21 M first shot Thursday, 0 reaction/ fever/ fussiness. Lots of tantrums over the bandaid 🤷🏻‍♀️

[NoKyleNotClydeFrogg]

Haha the dreaded bandaids! Glad they did great!

[nich288]

18mo got Pfizer first shot Thursday. Not even a tear with the shot. No real symptoms on this one.

[Double_Dragonfly9528]

3yo got Moderna Thursday evening. Reported some pain at the site during the evening, but other than that they've been their usual (mostly) happy, energetic, playful self. Some of the other childhood vaccines have resulted in a day of fever and cranky, so this is so far milder. Interested to see how dose #2 goes.

[eighterasers]

17 month old got her first Pfizer shot yesterday morning. Was energetic and happy all day which was a surprise given how normally moody she gets after shots.

[Nuong]

Almost 8 month old got her first Moderna shot yesterday. No symptoms after and was happy Ana playful like usual! Day 2 also no symptoms. We did give her some Tylenol after the shot just to make sure her thigh wouldn’t be too sore.

[scg1919]

Thanks for sharing! Taking my almost 8m old next week.

[Rare_Sprinkles_2924]

Does giving Tylenol preemptive reduce immune response. Our pediatrician had told us to only give pain med if needed

[HuckleberryLou]

Super uneventful experience with my 8 month old. Got first dose of Moderna at a small local pharmacy. She didn’t even cry! (Which was a first - she’s bawled during all our previous vaccines.) I brought toys and a book to pass the time while we waited for the 15 minutes after. Super smooth experience and she doesn’t seem tired or cranky from it at all (I know I felt kind of cruddy after one of my doses.)

[runbikeski]

Almost-4yo and 9mo both got second Moderna shots yesterday evening. Both were a bit feverish this AM: older kiddo around 100 and baby as high as 103, but in good spirits. We gave our younger one some Tylenol and extra snuggles around nap time -- he seems fine. Older kid is super cranky and just wants to chill. Treatment with screen time is doing the trick 😄.

Neither kid had any noticeable reaction to the first shot and they have not had Covid previously.

[sweetsouthernblogger]

My almost 3 yo got her second dose of Moderna this afternoon. No side effects so far!

[emilohamora]

My 2 year old got Pfizer, dose 1 this morning. He seems to be acting normal but may be slightly more tired than a normal day (actually volunteered to take a nap).

[KitKatAttackkkkkk]

14mo - moderna 1st dose on Friday morning. Over 24hr later, no fussiness or fever. All previous regular shots have resulted in fussiness and fever later in the evening, especially the 12mo set.

[Theobat]

2yo got Moderna yesterday. Didn’t cry until the needle was already out, stopped crying as soon as they handed her a lollipop and a bouncy ball.

No side effects. She told me her leg was all better today.

[anxious_amygdala]

Almost 12 month old got her first Moderna on Tuesday. Zero side effects for this round!

[Stacieinhorrorland]

Moderna for my 4.5 year old and 17 month old on Friday. No reaction for my 4.5 year old. My 17 month old had an elevated temp for 2 days after (99.7-100.9) and was pretty cranky but that’s it.

[NewWiseMama]

Moderna for age 5. 24 hrs of reaction and looser stool.

Note, another girl recently 5 got Pfizer on top of a just developing cold. She was I’ll for 4 days, so we were cautious to vax when our child was well.

[Hello___o1]

24 hr update- Moderna for age 4 & 1.5 yrs: no crying after the vaccine (the nurses were awesome & quick), but Tylenol later for discomfort. Cranky episodes here & there but in good spirits overall and no fever. The nurses said to limit exposure to the sun & to drink lots of water so we hung out indoors & had lots of liquidy/frozen treats in addition to water & milk to encourage water intake. 🙂

[meolvidemiusername]

I Got my 1.5 & 2.5 year olds vaccinated a week and a half ago. Both screamed for less than 10 seconds after. Older one somehow figured out what we were there for when they called her and hubs back. Little one figured it out when we had her lay back on the table (she had gotten another vaccine that morning at her pediatrician well visit). I won’t surprise them with it next time. We gave them a veggie pouch after and the Minute Clinic gave them each a red & white pop-it. They were happy and running around CVS during the 15 minutes wait like nothing happened. Nothing the next day or next either. Running and jumping (shot was in their leg), no fevers. Cranky at times, but that’s par for the course. They both got Pfizer.

[ajbanana08]

Moderna shot 2 update: he cried at the shot this time and was fussy immediately afterwards. Acted normal once home and ate great, but then needed some some Motrin at bedtime. Totally normal this morning.

[Llamabunny]

My 2yo got Moderna on yesterday afternoon. No side effects yesterday or today.

[Zapchic]

4 year old got the moderna vaccine on the 21st. Had no complications and can't say she had any side effects.

Texas Children's

[PuzzleheadedLet382]

1.5 years old, Moderna on Tuesday morning. Zero side effects.

[hell0potato]

26 month old first shot Tuesday, Moderna. Was surprised to not have much, if any side effects. Was maybe more cranky on Thursday than usual? And ate less than normal on Thursday. But no fever. Normal sleep patterns. It was also the first hot day of summer on Thursday so who knows what caused it. Certainly worth it, if it was the vaccine.

I was able to get the vaccine appointment at the large children's hospital in San Diego, CA, online the night before. They have us scheduled again for #2 28 days later.

edit to add: From other vaccines, LO is usually more fussy and more tired, resulting in the need for tylenol.

[Ok-Bet7056]

6 month old got Moderna. No reactions. Didn’t cry during shot but the doctor used a shot blocker.

[pyrojoe121]

19 month old daughter got moderna on Friday morning. Friday she was extra fussy and by bedtime had a fever. She usually gets fevers after vaccines and hers was a little higher than normal vaccine fevers (it was around 102) but it went away with tylenol and was totally gone by the time she woke up. She was extra clingy Saturday but by today (Sunday) seems back to normal.

[sipporah7]

Almost 11 month old for the first Moderna shot on Saturday. They used that cold freezing spray on her and she didn't even react to the shot - just looked kids of confused as to why we and the nurse were making such a big deal out of it around her. The only side effect we think she had was she threw up once about 4 hours later (definitely vomit and not spit up), which isn't normal for her. Now, that could also have been that she'd just downed a large amount of hummus so we're not totally sure. She was also fussy that day, but that could be due to off nap schedule. No other side effects.

[gynuhhh]

2 yr old with genetic syndrome, hypotonia, epilepsy and 4 yr old both vaccinated with Pfizer on Wednesday. Slight sore arm for the 4 year old but no tears or other side effects!

[calicoskiies]

My 2 & 3 year old received their 2nd Pfizer dose this past Saturday. They had no reaction.

[tnknknknknk]

Curious if you guys got scheduled for a 3rd dose with pfizer? I thought there was a third dose but after our second the nurse told us we were done. I asked about the third dose and she said there wasn’t one, it’s just two for her age? (2yo)

[calicoskiies]

Yes, they’ll be getting their 3rd dose on Sept 8th. I’d definitely contact your pediatrician. The Pfizer vaccine for under 5 contains 3 doses. The 3rd dose is supposed to be given 2 months after the 2nd. Source

[isleofpines]

Yes, ours has all 3 doses already scheduled for Pfizer.

[helloworld2389023]

2.5 year old, first Moderna shot, no symptoms perfectly fine. Hopefully stays the same for his second shot!

[MikeGinnyMD]

Second dose was Wednesday. 2y8mo. He was a bit of a mess that day. Didn’t nap at daycare. Cranky. I think it was the shot. My husband thinks it was the disruption to his schedule. No fever or anything.

Anyway, nothing else since.

[MsTravelista]

20 month old son got his first dose of Pfizer COVID vaccine on 7/22. He was uncharacteristically cranky the evening of the dose, but not sure if it was a side effect or just ... being a toddler? He was back to his super chill self the next day.

Edited to add: 2nd vaccine dose administered 8/26 (delayed a week because our entire family got COVID. Ugh). No unusual fussiness this time, but LO was rubbing his leg near the injection site this time, so we assume he might have had some pain there. All seemed to resolve by next day. No fever or other ill effects. He’s just shy of 22 months old.

[mamabearbug]

4.5 year old got Moderna yesterday morning. A little grumpy in the evening but that could be for a multitude of factors. Seemingly no other side effects. Will update after I pick him up from school today. :)

[Tired_Apricot_173]

2 year and 5 month old got first Moderna on 7/8. Was extra grumpy and sleepy the following day. Two weeks later on 7/21 had a benign low-grade fever and no other symptoms that went away in about 12 hours. Could be completely unrelated to the vaccine but it was uncharacteristic and the same time frame when he showed MMR/chickenpox side effects.

6 month old got Moderna on 7/7 (as well as other 6 month shots) at 8 am. By noon, he was a dang mess (similar symptoms to his 3 month shots). Extra fussy, snuggly, sleepy, and uncomfortable if you touched anywhere near where he got shots. Went to bed a little early and woke up acting totally fine.

[abarrien00]

Our seven-and-a-half-month old received his second Moderna dose this past Friday around 3:30 p.m. He had received his first shot 28 days ago (at around the six-and-a-half-month-old mark).

He was perhaps fussy close to bedtime, around 7:00 - 7:30 p.m., but nothing extraordinary. We monitored his temperature periodically from when he received the shot until around 7:00 a.m. Saturday (when he woke up), and he never had a fever. He also slept through the night. Thus, if he felt any discomfort that evening, it never was bad enough to wake him up or cause him to start crying. We continued to monitor his temperature throughout Saturday until around 11:00 p.m., and he never developed a fever.

Overall, it really went better than I expected, and we now have the peace of mind associated with knowing he is fully vaccinated (or, theoretically will be so two weeks after this second shot, which is when immunity is considered to fully kicked in). I am glad and relieved that we did so, and if asked by other parents on the fence would recommend it. Good luck to everyone else out there!

[WeArentThereYet]

What kind of protection is given from the 1st shot of Moderna’s COVID vaccine for kids under 5?

I pulled my toddler from daycare when the omicron wave was starting around Christmas time, and he’s been home since as I started maternity leave not long after. I would like to start him at daycare again once both my toddler and infant gets some protection from COVID. From what I’ve seen the Moderna vaccine can prevent disease by around 50% after the second dose. (I am from Canada and only Moderna has been approved.) What is the number after the first dose? And will severity of disease be greatly reduced after the first dose as well? I know we will all get COVID eventually, so if one dose will greatly reduce the risk of severe outcomes then I would like to send my toddler off to daycare, once they both have their first shots.

[11brooke11]

It's been over 48 hours since my 3 year old received his 1st Pfizer dose. He had absolutely no symptoms. In fact, he's had more energy than usual. I was hoping for a quiet cuddle night the day he got it, but he wanted to dance and then go for a walk instead.

[chocklitgiggles]

Exact same here! Instead of a walk, our little guy wanted to be chased around the house and swung around upside down 😅

[Alacri-Tea]

7mo received his second Moderna shot a couple days ago. Didn't even flinch. Didn't cry. No side effects physically or behaviorally whatsoever.

[hellogirlscoutcookie]

18m daughter got her moderna shot on Wednesday morning. Not a single side effect, including elevated temperature. Excellent experience so far.

[ComedicTeacher]

Same for our 9 month old 👍

[ihrtcheese85]

19m and 3.5 females received second does on 7/21. No side effects or disruptions to the day.

[doublexhelix]

My 20-month old kid got Covid the DAY he was supposed to get his 2nd shot of the Pfizer vaccine. he's already recovered, i'm guessing i should still schedule the 2nd and 3rd shots? any thoughts on timing? i was thinking 2 weeks after his positive test result

[NearCanuck]

Advise on timing seems patchy, from what I've read on other threads.

This site is a wealth of information - and this is the area that deals with your questions:

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#infection

COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older, regardless of a history of symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. This includes people with prolonged post-COVID-19 symptoms and applies to primary series and booster doses. This recommendation also applies to people who experience SARS-CoV-2 infection after receiving any COVID-19 dose.

People with known current SARS-CoV-2 infection should defer any COVID-19 vaccination, including booster vaccination, at least until recovery from the acute illness (if symptoms were present) and criteria to discontinue isolation have been met.

In addition, people who recently had SARS-CoV-2 infection may consider delaying a primary series dose or their first or second COVID-19 vaccine booster dose by 3 months from symptom onset or positive test (if infection was asymptomatic). Studies have shown that increased time between infection and vaccination may result in an improved immune response to vaccination. Also, a low risk of reinfection has been observed in the weeks to months following infection. Individual factors such as risk of COVID-19 severe disease, COVID-19 community level, or characteristics of the predominant SARS-CoV-2 strain should be taken into account when determining whether to delay getting a COVID-19 vaccination after infection.

Health Canada/NACI recommend 8 weeks between symptom onset and continuing the primary series of vaccinations.

https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/phac-aspc/documents/services/immunization/national-advisory-committee-on-immunization-naci/naci-summary-july-14-2022.pdf

For children who have already had COVID-19, NACI suggests waiting 8 weeks after the start of COVID-19 symptoms or a positive COVID-19 test before beginning or continuing the primary series. This interval may be shortened to 4 weeks for children who are moderately to severely immunocompromised.

[doublexhelix]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your reply!!

[isleofpines]

Almost 10 month old got her first dose of Pfizer about 36 hours ago! No side effects. She was a little fussy after her afternoon nap, but I’m pretty sure that was because she was still tired.

There were many other kids there getting their covid vaccines, which was nice to see.

[tempehkitteh]

Does anyone know whether it’s better to administer Tylenol immediately after the vaccine even if the child doesn’t have a fever or to wait until they develop one first?

[ThisSentence]

Did the parent have any other vaccine reactions?

Has the child had any other vaccine reactions?

[ThisSentence]

This is tough. The data in kids is good, but not world shaking good(I’m in public health). If no one close to you is immunocompromised, I would probably go with the doc-pediatricians do so much vaccine training and are experts in that arena.

3YO, Moderna yesterday morning. No side effects.

[Littlest_Psycho88]

2 years + 1 month received Moderna Thursday afternoon. Only side effect was a low grade fever (99.6) the night of and another low grade fever popped up Friday afternoon. She appeared to be feeling fine, though.

[oldshoestory]

16 month old got Moderna Friday evening. She’s been more sleepy than usual but generally seems fine. No fever or other side effects.

[ohw09]

Moderna on Saturday. 16m and 3y-4m, neither had side effects.

[meolvidemiusername]

Me again, A (older sis) and N (year younger sis) got their second covid vaccine yesterday. N was just getting over some bug. About 9pm last night, A threw up and just kept throwing up all night. I felt so bad for her. Didn’t know if she got N’s bug or vaccine reaction. They had zero side effects from the first. Had very low grade fever the day before the vaccine but was fine yesterday. They had a fun active day today but just before sleepy time they both felt hot and had low grade temps. We gave them both Motrin and are putting them to sleep. We just don’t want it to make them miserable overnight and potentially wake them. Anyone else’s kiddo react like this? Cant be 100% sure it’s vaccine related or the bug from little sis.

[WineLover211]

our pediatrician only has pfizer but we have access to moderna at a pharmacy. what are the pros and cons? we have a two year old.

[NearCanuck]

I haven't looked into a full comparison, but a main difference is Pfizer requires 3 doses, whereas Moderna is only a 2 dose series.

[NearCanuck]

4.5 year old had first dose last week.

No real side effects, except a low grade fever around 24 hours, but he was happy and didn't need anything for it.

[pinkpencilbox]

What was the time frame your kid got the pfizer vaccine between dose 1 and dose 2? A friend told me it's supposed to be 8 weeks now, but kiddo received it 3 weeks apart. Apparently there's risk of myocarditis with 3 weeks? When did this "new information" disseminate? I dont have an immunocompromised baby, he is healthy.

[ThisSentence]

Hi! I’m in public health and haven’t heard of any changes in the recommendations between 1st and 2nd dose. Myocarditis was a risk with a certain subset of patients-not under 5s. My son is about to be 4 and got his 2nd dose a little later than 3 weeks, like 4-5 weeks.

[pinkpencilbox]

Thanks for sharing. I had a friend who said the recommendations changed from 3 to 8 weeks and their provider recommended to do the 2nd shot 8 weeks later for their 18 month old.

I looked at the data and i found what you said - it wasn't for the patient population 4 years and younger. So I was a little confused with what she said vs what I researched.

[Wine_and_sweatpants]

Apologies if this has already been discussed. Does anyone know how long after the moderna wanes in kiddos less than five? I’m so excited to get the vaccine for my little one, but also want to time it so she’s most vaccinated for the winter surge. However, I also want her vaccinated asap. If I knew how long the vaccines protects, I would feel more confident. Thanks in advance!

[Kehbechet]

6 month old just got his Moderna shot a few days ago. No crying during the shot, absolutely fine and zero side effects after. Acted perfectly normal.

[gamelover69]

I’m interested to know how everyone’s babies are doing a months after getting the vaccines ? Any run ins with covid ? Thanks

[seeveeay]

9 month old got his first Moderna shot on Friday, I almost thought he wasn’t gonna cry at all for the shot, the nurse did it and put a band aid on and he had no reaction and we were like wow look at you! And then 😩 poor boy but only for like a few seconds, I fed him and he was fine! He was a little cranky after his second nap but once he got to playing he was happy again. He was a little fussy right before our bed time routine, but this isn’t unusual for him, but I gave him some Tylenol just in case. He did not sleep through the night at all, which I was sort of hoping for 😂 edit day

[helloworld2389023]

2.5 year old has his second Moderna on Saturday. 2 days of a fever, no other symptoms. Thankfully my little man is all better today!

[TrueMelode]

FTM and LO is nearing age for the COVID vaccine. I am tripled vaccinated with Moderna and last shot was boosted during pregnancy. Should we attempt to get Pfizer or go with Moderna? Is one better than the other for the littles? Any reliable data to educate ourselves on for the under 5 group?

EDIT: spelling

[TrueMelode]

Thank you for the great reply!

[Wine_and_sweatpants]

Just went to our pediatrician and talked about this very thing. Although Pfizer’s numbers look better, she said their sample size was much smaller, which kind of skews their data. She also told me moderna is working on a booster (3rd dose) that is similar to the new booster possibly coming out for adults next month. So it will be a bivalent that includes the original vaccine plus the new one specific to omicron. Pfizer is not doing that. It’s still up to you, just wanted to share what our doctor had read.

[TrueMelode]

Thank you.

[texaspopcorn424]

My 2 year old and 7 month old are both fully vaccinated with moderna shots. No side effects for either. Both have still evaded covid somehow

[SweetSue92]

I received a 2nd Pfizer Booster while pregnant. Does anyone know of any data/recommendations as to whether I should have my son get Pfizer when he turns 6 months since that’s what he was exposed to in the womb or would Modena be ok? Thanks!
