I suspect that might prevent transmission. Like every other vaccine ever developed. I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosteve1 Posted March 13, 2021 #352 Share Posted March 13, 2021 NC schools will be back to full time school in the next few weeks. Teachers have been eligible for vaccines since February 24 and there is zero evidence that schools or children are significant sources of transmission. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry my link doesn't work but google or input it. Thanks. I've pretty much signed up with everyone and their notification lists, but we still don't quite meet the age, ill health or special interest qualifications to get vaccinated yet. I am really trying to be patient when I see those in line ups at the vaccination sites on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading your comment and others I am absolutely dreading it. Why does it hurt so much? 💉 If you have never had chicken pox then you won’t get shingles, you’d get chicken pox first so you should be getting the chicken pox vaccine. I would have your Dr order an antibody test to find out whether in fact you have been exposed to chicken pox in the past. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/can-you-get-shingles-if-you-havent-had-chickenpox/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big "if" though. Depending on the teacher's union they are asking for things like universal health care, defunding police, all children vaccinated etc. to return to work. I would imagine a better approach would be to let the money follow the student and open more private schools which have been open since the fall while decreasing the pay for teachers not returning to work. All our schools have been open since last fall with no problems so it can be done even before children can be vaccinated. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of those reasons why I dont trust all this vaccination thing. There is something they hide from us and the sooner we learn about it the better Mainly because as yet there have been insufficient clinical trials on children, although teenagers are now testing vaccines in the UK, and I assume elsewhere in the world. Last week you wrote that you couldn't wait to be vaccinated - you do tend to change your mind a lot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of those reasons why I dont trust all this vaccination thing. There is something they hide from us and the sooner we learn about it the better There is nothing to hide or wonder about. Kids immune responses change rapidly as they age and their responses are different than in adults. Since kids are typically not at high risk for severe illness, vaccine trials for adults were the priority. Just like those 65/70/75+ were a priority since they are at highest risk of severe illness, kids are at the bottom of that list. A vaccine for an adult isn't inherently safe or appropriate for a child. Pzifer and Moderna plan to have more info by June for those above age 12. Those below age 12 followed by infants and newborns will come next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exposed but never got really sick. My mom says maybe maybe not. Maybe when I was a child things were different. I did get real sick from scarlet fever. You never hear of that any more? Wonder why. My dad had rheumatic fever the cause of his heart issues. Seems that's no longer common either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the normal path of research, not some conspiracy theory. Just we're one year into development of a vaccine that otherwise would take several years (due to the need to do much more intensive testing, including kids) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
