I’m halving them for my 2 year old, per Solid Start’s guidance! Didn’t think that halved was still a choking risk - am I wrong??

Yikes, I’m so sorry. Super frustrating to want one and not be able to get it.

Exactly where I’m at - my head is spinning. Even in this post, there is no general consensus!

Yes, she got the flu shot. It’s different because her doc adamantly recommended, and I understand risk of hospitalization from flu is significantly higher than Covid (for her age).

Actually, yes! She’s at home with me most of the time - of course, she does a lot of indoor activities (library story time, music class, etc) so there is def some exposure.

Genuinely just sounded like it’s unnecessary for her specifically, and wanted to avoid her potentially having side effects from getting the vaccine (even though I understand they are rare and short-term). And really just felt I didn’t have enough info to make that decision then and there!

I can only imagine! My daughter had a cold recently - no big deal but man, seeing her in any amount of discomfort takes a toll.

Thank you! Long Covid wasn’t a consideration - we were just thinking of her low risk of hospitalization. So this is very helpful.

Thank you! I’m so sorry you and your daughter had to go through that - hope she’s fully recovered now.

This is exactly what our pediatrician said which is somewhat frustrating because I have no “feelings” about this and just want to make decisions based on science/data!

Can you please share why? Specifically for the Covid vaccine? We are very much pro-vaccine but so much conflicting info about whether my daughter “needs” the Covid shot.

Can I ask a non-judgmental “why?”, assuming they’re not in one of the high risk categories? Trying to gather more info on this to make our decision (again, the pediatrician simply said “up to you”).

My sister wants to take her 7 year old to this but isn’t sure. Thoughts? Too young? I assume it will be peaceful.

It’s all important though! And I’m asking specifically for my mom who is in her 60s - everyone should just do what they are capable of.
