My almost 11 month old got her second Moderna on Wednesday, absolutely nothing for side effects. Not even tired enough to sleep through the night for a change.

My two year old got shot #2 this morning. She cried for about 10 seconds because it was "ouchy" and then settled quickly.

Immunocompromised FIL tested positive for Covid yesterday and TODAY waltzed into DH's work acting like wearing a mask made it ok. WTF?!? I am aghast.
DH is no longer speaking to him for the foreseeable future.

I am so happy to see all the littles well on their way to having a pre-programmed immune response.

We’ve been taking advantage of Free Walgreens testing but I finally got around to ordering our USPS ones. And perfect timing since I think the kids might have shared with me. It’s between that or the neighbor who decided to kill all the weeds in his yard by setting it on fire yesterday😒all I know is I feel awful this morning. But reminder to anyone else who hadn’t ordered all three packs from usps.

One of DH's friends tested positive yesterday. He's supposed to be recording for their podcast in person on Sunday and a bunch of the other guys are telling him he should come anyways. The guy who hosts it hasn't weighed in, but he's high risk, so I can't imagine he'd be thrilled with a sick person coming over.
H thankfully dropped out of the main podcast and is only doing Q and A segments right now, so he's not supposed to go on Sunday regardless, thankfully.

DD got her booster and DS2 got his 2nd dose today 🎉
DD complained her arm is sore this evening but she got it in the same arm as her broken elbow and doesn't have her full range of motion back yet so that could be exacerbating things
DS2 also said his arm hurt, but he could be imitating. I could use him sleeping through the night for once 😣 He still wakes up MOTN and wants to get in bed with me and then kicks me the rest of the night. He's a barfer when he cries, I haven't had it in me to work on staying in bed yet

DS2 felt warm when he woke up overnight but he and DD bounced around just fine today. I could have used a relaxing snuggle day with DS2, but I'm just thankful he's vaxxed now.

A day and a half post second Moderna shot and my 2.5 year old is exhibiting no side effects whatsoever. No fever, no injection site reaction, no changes to sleep or any kind of fussiness. Hopefully it holds.

So DS had his 2nd Moderna dose yesterday at 11:45. He woke up this morning earlier and crying. When I went to get him, he told me hadn't slept well and jumped in my arms. I figured he had a bad dream. He was super whiny and clingy, and I noticed he felt warm. It clicked that he probably felt crappy from his shot. He wouldn't eat so I offered him some water. He drank a few sips, and then said, "my mouth feels funny." I knew what was coming and got him to the bathroom just in time. It was just a little bit of vomit and since then, he's acting 100% normal. I don't remember seeing that vomiting could be a vax side effect. Glad he is feeling better and you were able to avoid a mess. Yay for 2nd vaccine! Also, TY for the heads up on his s/e, as DS4 has been having night terrors the past week and he gets his 2nd today.

I’m confused about boosters, I guess I’m not eligible for another yet because only older people and specifically immunocompromised people are right now? I tried to set an appt at Costco but following that I’m not eligible I’m not immunocompromised but I do have an AI disease and would like as much protection as possible

jenna just get one anyway. There is no way they can verify so you just attest that you meet requirements and get it.

I remember last time the pharmacist asked me for what my qualifying conditions were when I was there but thanks to my social anxiety I’ve totally blocked out most of the interaction and don’t really remember 😬 I feel like that was when they opened it up a little more and I was actually eligible but my brain is an absolute sieve the last couple years man

jenna just get one anyway. There is no way they can verify so you just attest that you meet requirements and get it. This. You have to answer Yes to any questions about whether you are immunocompromised. There’s a good description of how to and why from a public health expert/disability advocate here: I have a couple flaring-remitting AI diseases and am also high risk because of weight and asthma, but I’m not technically immunocompromised. If I get sick, I’ll likely have nasty AI flares and end up having to take Paxlovid to mitigate COVID. I’ve signed up for my 4th booster because it’s pretty clear that the CDC isn’t rushing to take any measures at this point to reduce my risk of catching BA.5 and it’s been 9 months since I was boosted. The CDC and FDA are discussing making the second booster more widely available to At-Risk adults under 50yo, but it’s not a priority for them and could take awhile, if they even get around to it before the Omicron booster becomes available.

Thanks guys. It’s discouraging how difficult it still is to navigate all the info (at least for me). I forgot mood disorders and being a current or former smoker are listed as qualifying under “people with certain medical conditions” on CDC page so that makes it easier to BS the pharmacist too.
I’m going to schedule mine, I haven’t had a booster in about 9 months either
My close friend and my brother both got it in the last week, feels like it’s closing in on me 😩 I hope I can manage to keep evading it

DS got his second Moderna a couple hours ago. They did it in his arm and it was his first arm shot ever. He did fine but I'm thinking sore arm will bother him more than a sore leg. We'll give him Motrin before bed like we did last time.

I'm pretty sure they're about the same age (mine just turned 4) and he barely complained about his arm at all

For a second booster, are people still able to choose whether they want Pfizer or Moderna regardless of their initial series? I'm thinking I want to try Moderna this time.

They let me choose when I signed up online. I had Pfizer for my original vax and Moderna for my two boosters. The pharmacists don’t seem to care.

I'm tempted to figure out how to get a novavax shot, but I know a lot of pharmacies aren't planning to offer them. If I can only get it through the local health department, surely they'd know I've already received vaccines? I know evushield isn't supposed to be very effective in its current form, and while not an omicron specific booster, novavax does pretty decent.
I mean, when I got the J+J after my moderna shot, the doctor told me to lie and pretend I was starting from scratch...

My toddler got his at a vaccine clinic run by the county and it's not like they look up any information on a computer. Obviously, they know he hasn't had any shots previously but they give shots to adults too and they don't have a system to look anything up. The paper form asks if you've had vaccines previously. Do you know if it works differently in your area?

We did our DDs' shots through the health department and they didn't check anything besides the appointment confirmation, but I was just thinking the state website has everything logged correctly (and if I have to sign up through the state website)- and maybe they would check? I just don't know. Heck it's been so long for me, its probably like starting over. My state won't have them until mid August looks like.
