Roll up your sleeves: Kids’ turn arrives for COVID-19 shots

Hugs with friends. Birthday parties indoors. Pillow fights. School children who got their first COVID-19 shots Wednesday said these are the pleasures they look forward to as the U.S. enters a major new phase in fighting the pandemic.

Health officials hailed shots for kids aged 5 to 11 as a major breakthrough after more than 18 months of illness, hospitalizations, deaths and disrupted education.

Kid-sized doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine cleared two final hurdles Tuesday — a recommendation from CDC advisers, followed by a green light from Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

At a Decatur, Georgia, pediatrician’s office Wednesday, 10-year-old Mackenzie Olson took off her black leather jacket and rolled up her sleeve as her mother looked on.

“I see my friends but not the way I want to. I want to hug them, play games with them that we don’t normally get to,” and have a pillow fight with her best friend, Mackenzie said after getting her shot at the Children’s Medical Group site.

With the federal government promising enough vaccine to protect the nation’s 28 million kids in this age group, pediatricians’ offices and hospitals began inoculating children, with schools, pharmacies and other locations planning to follow suit in the days ahead.

Brian Giglio, 40, of Alexandria, Virginia, brought his 8-year-old son, Carter, in for vaccination at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., where kids with underlying conditions got first dibs. Carter has Type 1 diabetes that puts him at risk for complications if he were to become infected.

The notavax is more dangerous to the kids than COVID-19.

Who’s stopping you?

I don’t have children, but if I did I wouldn’t even expose them to public education, never mind experimental injections. I can’t understand why anyone would do that.

These kids should be tested for antibodies FIRST. ANY sign of antibodies....leave ALL of the kids alone.

A special place in hell is being prepared right now for anyone involved in killing children with this.

The kids have survived just fine the past two years (and it's been two years since COVID-19 reached the CONUS). This is completely unnecessary, bordering on criminal.

Was so glad that out of the 93 kids coming to our house trick-or-treating this Halloween, only one had a mask on for COVID, along with his two parents. No other kid or parent was masked up for Halloween, other than for a costume.

Gonna be a city and karenburb thing. Here in rural MO, the kids have to be at full herd immunity and likely caused the same in adults. Kids went back to school last Fall, no masks, no distancing, no plastic cubicles. Then they hung out together all Summer and went back to school again this Fall as Delta was at it’s height. They did cancel 5th grade at one school for a couple of weeks two months ago and I heard there was an outbreak at another school last year but they kept on going back to school mask free. We hit it head on and lived life normally. I’d say we’re right up there with the Amish as far as covid being something from the past.

Cities in MO are a different story because they had long lockdowns, mask mandates, closed establishments etc.

I had a Disney page (I know my first mistake) pop up on my fb feed today. These parents are giddy and can’t wait to get their kids jabbed. Unbelievable!

People will not stand to have their children murdered by the state. This will not end well.
