Many patients, colleagues, and friends have asked me over the past few weeks if I was going to vaccinate my kids right away, particularly since we already had Covid & a mild case. I think Isla summed it up perfectly as we were walking into : "Mom, I'm a little scared, but I'm really excited." ✨
➡️ We vaccinate to protect ourselves, protect others (particularly those who are immunocompromised or cannot yet get vaccinated, like our little Princess P 👶🏻), protect our community, and decrease spread and emergence of future strains/mutations.
➡️ We vaccinate to decrease the likelihood that we get Covid again and have long haul symptoms or other serious complications.
Yes, we're a *little* scared of the “one in a million” complication that can result from vaccination, but the chance of getting Covid and complications from Covid are far greater & much more likely when unvaccinated. So, thank you science & thank you to all the kids that took part in the trials to make this possible! 🙏❤️🌟
