Are you having your kids get the vaccine?

Ds19 says no. It’s his choice but I’m thinking he’ll change his mind at some point.

Ds10 won’t be eligible for awhile yet hopefully by time he is it won’t be so new and dh and I will be more comfortable with it.

Our entire family of 5 had Covid back in December and as of last night, with DD16 getting her 1st vaccine, we have all had our 1st jabs. We in no way shape or form wanna go thru what we went thru with having Covid again. And me being a long hauler, ya no thanks! Everyone was on board, no one had any hesitation. Kids are 23, 18, and 16.

And we all had a pretty strong reaction to the 1st vaccine and we where calling it Covid-light but all agreed it was nothing compared to the real thing! We are hoping for a not so strong reaction to vaccine #2. We also all got the Pfizer vaccine. 10 out of 10 would recommend compared to getting Covid!

Both my kids are adults and will be making their own decisions. My older DS and his wife are both considered medically at risk, so will be getting their first shots soon. My younger DS has no health issues, and so is a long way down the priority list, so he isn't really thinking much about it. He'll probably get it, but it won't be for months.

Yes! My 12 yo keeps asking when he can get it and my 19 year old is getting it asap. I do understand hesitation and fear but rolling the dice with covid is much more terrifying.

I can't wait for them to!

It wil be a huge weight off my shoulders, and we can start living again.

My oldest has had both of his doses and my youngest will get hers once she turns 16 this summer.

Yeah - I was up at midnight scheduling my daughter the minute she was eligible in her state, mostly worried that if she didn't get the shot right away it would be hard to get the second before she flew home and I'd have to deal with scheduling a second shot in a different state which I hear can be difficult.  I snagged an appointment a couple days later for Moderna.  Then the online system totally screwed up the schedule for the second jab and I spent hours for a human being at Walgreens.  A week later her university announced they would be vaccinating everyone interested with J&J.  Oops

I had a similar issue with scheduling. I originally found an appointment giving the Pfizer vaccine but the second dose would have been squarely in the middle of exam week and I didn’t want to do that to her in case she ended up not feeling well. She has needle anxiety as it is and that would have sucked while studying for exams. I made her research before deciding and she wanted the Pfizer. I felt bad that she couldn’t get that, but in the end she just said sign her up for whatever I could find. And then her university had appointments for all three available for kids leaving early or out of state. Oh well! This shall soon be behind us. 

My 25 year old was vaccinated through her job. She is a SLP
based in skilled nursing facilities.

My 21-year old.... scheduled to get her first dose this past Wednesday, at her university. Two hours prior, she gets a call from a contract tracer. One of her close friends tested positive that morning. Dd is in quarantine now. No vaccine.

She has a test tomorrow. So far she has no symptoms. I’m crossing my fingers that that remains the case today and into tomorrow morning.

I believe her school will likely require the vaccine in the fall, given that they are offering vaccinations this spring. We will have to work on finding her one this summer. I’m concerned that it will be challenging now that vaccines will be open to everyone in a matter of days. I’m also concerned that there will be fewer J&J doses available— more competition for fewer total doses.

Of course.  They're in college and can choose for themselves.  However, we need them to be vaccinated in order to live here over the summer, because of me.  Both boys wanted the vaccine, anyway.  One had his J&J last week and one will get his first Pfizer this week.

Mine are 20 and 23 and they both got the J&J one last week. We left it up to them. There was no hesitation from either of them. They have been careful this past year and luckily, even though have had contact with positive people, haven’t gotten it (been tested multiple times). No side effects other than a sore arm for about a day.

21 y.o ds got his (he's a first responder)
14 dd isn't old enough yet and says she doesn't want it. I'd like her to get it so that as a family, we are all protected and can visit with the grandparents safely.

Yep, as soon as possible. Not worried about side effects one bit.

Yes. My 19 yo arranged for hers on campus. My 17 yo is going towards the end of the month for his.
