Many have been doing [frustrated] outreach to un/under-vaccinated elderly relatives. But let me flag. It's a good time to urge parents you know to vaccinate their eligible kids. Not too late. Even one dose will confer some protection, and dampen transmission chains as well.

This is a good idea, especially if there are infants in the household. Viral respiratory illnesses can especially be challenging to that age group. Not sure why this isn't sinking in—we'd be worried if millions of RSV cases were sweeping through as well.https://twitter.com/mikepqr/status/1478408972944039936 …

I'm going to repeat: if you have parents in your life that have been shrugging vaccinating their eligible children, it's a good time for outreach. "Most kids will be fine" isn't enough when it's your kid—even a single dose is better than none, and a layer of protection for kids.

The reason kids don’t die more of so many other diseases is because we vaccinate against them. Yes “most” kids will be all right with many viral diseases, but some will not be. “Low risk for kids” is not a reason not to vaccinate them. We don’t want a fair fight with viruses.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1471329726304292867 …

I read a lot of history, and also study some terrible current things, but even as I'm inured to so much awfulness, I'm always struck by all the child deaths in historical biographies. Vaccines, antibiotics, nutrition and sanitation... Nudge your friends. Even if one dose.

Of course… but this has nothing to do with covid and vaccines against it.

Why has the Covid vaccine rates for 5-18 been so dismal? Where are the pediatricians?
-
I think the rollout has been weird. I have 3 kids in the 5-11 range, and when the vaccines were first being approved for that age range, the pediatrician’s office didn’t seem to have any vaccines or any information more than we did so we all went to Walmart. Might be better now.

I agree. People have to wake up and be part of the solution, get vaccinated and get on with life.
