DD1 has an appointment for next weekend, but with the news about the CDC I'm hoping I can snag her a sooner one since this one interferes with our holidays photos. Also, I just want this kid vaxxed asap.

I think H is going to go postal on the owner of the company any minute. He just found out via text that his boss was symptomatic all last week after lying to everyone that she wasn’t symptomatic and she’s been sending her kids to swim practice with Ds1 while they’ve had symptoms. Her joke was to him by the time her pcr tests are back she’ll already be out of her quarantine period. People like this are why we're still in this mess. Holy fuck!

Oh I know you can do it at the same time. But the pharmacist told my H since he wasn’t doing both at the same time, he needed to wait 3 weeks, which I’ve never heard. I was 9 days apart for mine 🤷🏼♀️ I was 10 days. I the pharmacist asked if I need the flu shot too and I told him I had just gotten it the week before and he didn’t say anything. So weird.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices unanimously recommended Pfizer’s and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11, sending it to Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky for her final approval. If she signs off on the recommendation, which is expected as early as late Tuesday, vaccinations for young kids could begin immediately. As many as 28 million kids in the U.S. are eligible for the shots, which will be administered at one-third of the dosage for teens and adults.

Holy fuck! oh it gets better she’s arguing with the school why her kid has to quarantine while they are waiting on the moms results. And another coworker who said he just had a cold and no time to quarantine is positive and his wife now has pneumonia

Ok next Q.
My cousin had had 2 moderna, 2 months apart- 8/3/21 and The last shot she got was on Sept 30.
She should not get a booster right?

That’s super similar to what we’re doing here, so the guidance linked in this tweet might be helpful for decision making (TLDR; unless you’re high risk, seek a booster 6 months after your 2nd dose):

💉💉💉 US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Tuesday evening she was endorsing a recommendation to vaccinate children ages 5-11 against Covid-19, clearing the way for immediate vaccination of the youngest age group yet in the United States.
"CDC now expands vaccine recommendations to about 28 million children in the United States in this age group and allows providers to begin vaccinating them as soon as possible," the agency said in a statement.

So I can get my 6 year old vaccinated now? Yes? Is this going to be cut throat like how it was when I got vaxxed in March or low key like it is now?

I’m skimming thru FB vaccine hunter group for info on where shots are being doled out. It feels a little chaotic now but it’ll chill out, I assume, if you wait a couple weeks. I’m pushing to get it done in the next 14 days bc I want to be two weeks post dose 2 by Xmas.

A neighborhood school posted a signup for a vax clinic and it was full in 30 minutes.
I think there’s some pent up initial demand for sure.

My 8 year old niece just got Covid for the 2nd time.
She had it first in summer 2020 and had headaches for months afterwards. I hope she does ok this time around. And so close to vaccine time!

A friend sent me a link to a pharmacy doing kid vaccines and I snagged an appointment for FRIDAY! Friday y’all. Fucking this week my kid is getting a shot in her arm. Second shot is the Friday after thanksgiving. I didn’t realize how emotional this would feel.

I’m keeping DD’s appointment for Nov. 12. What the CDC lines exactly up with what her dr said. I don’t want her to get it again, and I want her fully protected at Christmas.

And my assumption of the vaccinated status of deer hunters makes me think the deer will be killing the hunters off this season and not the other way around.

One of the possible human to deer transmission examples given was a deer licking a hunter’s tobacco spit and I 😯😦😐😬 Also not gonna lie, my first thought was how the Midwest is gonna fuck it up for us again with some weird new deer to human variant.
