If they are teenagers, definitely see about scheduling them as soon as possible. Hoping for a speedy recovery for them and that you can get them vaccinated real soon after!

Please, get vaccinated and help put and end to this.

I hear your plea and understand why.  I had covid and have had my antibodies checked.  I will opt out of the vaccine and let my natural antibodies do their job.  I don't like any vaccine that will reprogram my DNA.

There's good arguments on both sides.  If I hadn't had covid and not have strong antibodies, I would get vaccinated with the one that doesn't effect my DNA.

If people was not in such a rush to "get back to normal" we would be past this. Why not get vac and everyone STILL wear a mask for awhile till numbers drop like it was before? Oh no can't do that I want my normal!!

As soon as mandated mask came off # went up. And Vaxx mandated don't work I know 2 ppl how got it after vac. Just wear a mask ppl inside, it's not that hard.

So get the Johnson & Johnson single shot. It's the old process that doesn't "reprogram your DNA"

That sucks!  Best of luck that your kids don't end up with long haul covid.

One of my students is steal dealing with long haul covid.  Her stomach barely works.  She's lost 30 pounds in four months and just doesn't eat some days.

There is so much bull crap out there regarding the "viability" of the pseudoscience about the bad of vaccines.  The reality is that the SARS-Covid viruses have been around for a long time, the vaccine has been in a development for a while.  The side effects are very low compared to how dangerous the Covid-19 is for the unvaccinated.

The problem is so many people think that a slick website after 10 minutes of google searching is more than enough proof for them.  Talk to your physician.  Then get vaccinated.  

But back to the rest of this: Good luck @Zod!  Hope your kids make a full recovery and can get vaccinated soon.

In case you're serious about the DNA reprogramming comment, that's not at all how these mRNA vaccines work. The vaccine contains a bit of viral mRNA (not complete, just a protein-encoding portion) that causes your body to build the spike protein itself based off of that blueprint and that blueprint is quickly broken down and disposed of after use, just like your regular cellular mRNA. From there, the antibodies react and you are then equipped to deal with foreign infection with the full virus capsule that includes the specific protein that your body recognizes.
