Would like to understand the 1/3 dose versus the full dose, after you see the data. My son (who will likely be 11.5 by the time the vaccine for children is released and weighs the same as some adults) might only receive 1/3 the vaccine while a 12 year old will receive a full vaccine. Should that cause worry? Do you think they will be able to show the effectiveness of 5 versus 11 year olds? I know something is better than nothing but wondering about the value of waiting a few months. Would love to hear your thoughts after you see the data...
Any thoughts on the Pfizer shot for kids who meet the 5+ age requirement, but are very small in stature? For instance, is it okay for a 5-year-old to get the 10-microgram dose even though their size is more in line with a 3-4 year old who will be getting a 3-microgram dose eventually?
Hello! 👋🏼 I am 22 weeks pregnant and a teacher so I just got my Pfizer booster vaccine and flu shot. Do you know of any studies that show if antibodies were passed on to the baby with only receiving one shot while pregnant? My current youngest adopted son is at risk of death with COVID (severe Marfans with heart failure and chronic respiratory failure, ect.) and I'd like to ensure I have passed on adequate protection to my newborn to help protect our entire family. Thank you!!!
What is your position on booster shots for people younger than 65 and not immunocompromised ? I am 62, have Hoshimoto and had the Pfizer vaccine over 6 months ago

Hmm, that's for your doctor to answer. So sorry!

Hi there and thanks for the comment. I would definitely ask you doctor this one. I can't really comment as an epidemiologist. All the best!
