2nd Covid Jab for child?

4 replies

Should I get my son jabbed for the 2nd time? It seems that many people haven't had their kids jabbed at all...Is there really cause for concern or are we reading too much into possible side effects etc? Who out there have had their kids jabbed twice?

No point now. The vaccines were designed for wild type COVID, each variant that comes gets further away from what the vaccine was designed to work against. The risks far outweighs the advantages now.

Yes, we are doing. Winter is coming and new variants could be worse for children.

I chose to get my daughter the 1st as she was very ill (not hospitalised but could only lie on the sofa for a week) when she had Covid and I don't want her to be that ill or miss that much school again. Now she's had one it seems silly not to get the 2nd.
My son had it a lot milder (and a few months later) so was on the fence but he wants the vaccine so will get it.

I’m planning on taking DD. I don’t agree that the risks outweigh the advantages, though I do hope we get a new generation of better, updated vaccines at some point.
