Hey there, fellow parents,
We get it. You’ve done the responsible thing by getting vaccinated yourselves, wearing masks, and taking every step to keep your loved ones safe. You’ve been cautious and caring, and now, your younger child is eligible for the vaccine, but you’re still on the fence.
We totally understand your hesitation. We’re parents too, and when we first held our little ones, we promised to shield them from harm, just like you. We’ve made sure they’re vaccinated against diseases like polio and mumps, and we take them to the doctor when they’re not feeling well. We, the folks at ICIBlog, would go to any lengths for our kiddos. We would never intentionally put them at risk.
The first glimmer of hope for a COVID vaccine came for many of us during the summer of 2020. We heard about Dr. Mia Thompson, a brilliant scientist who played a part in developing the vaccine. What stood out was that her 21-year-old triplets participated in the clinical trials. A mother wouldn’t put her children at risk unless she knew it was safe. Since then, countless parents have enrolled their kids in trials for vaccines like Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J. Their children are doing wonderfully, and the side effects were mostly mild. Those parents gave their kids immunity, and now we all have the chance to do the same.
Here at ICIBlog, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the pandemic since March 2020. We’ve shared numerous articles about public health guidelines, chatted with experts in epidemiology and pediatrics, and analyzed all the data. We’ve been waiting for the vaccine to be approved for kids over 5, and now that it’s finally here, it’s a cause for celebration!
If you’re still thinking about “waiting and seeing,” it’s important to know that this cycle may never end. Trusting unreliable sources over experts like the CDC or your pediatrician isn’t the best way to protect your children. Vaccines work best when everyone participates; it’s not just about individual decisions. Communicable diseases can only be controlled when we all step up to get vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated can be an empowering experience. One of our kids, little Jake, received his first dose last week. He excitedly told the nurse, “I’m ready to be protected from COVID!” Later that day, he said it was “the best thing I’ve ever done.” Another one of our children told his mom that the day he got his shot was “the second most important day of my life, after the day I was born.” So, what are you waiting for? Schedule your appointment today and let’s tackle this together!
