I would be concerned if they had their 2nd vaccination shot and then become Covid-19 positive within 1 - 3 months after having the complete vaccination package (two shots). We'll then know if the government wasted their money and we can then blame Pfizer, Moderna and those in charge of Operation Warp Speed. wrbtrader
The theory is that it will help people avoid severe symptoms. They have not "sold it" as preventing you from getting Covid They do not know if it will prevent your from spreading it. This is why I stated I know no reasons healthy kids should get it. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-vaccine/art-20484859 ... What COVID-19 vaccines have been approved and how do they work? Currently, several COVID-19 vaccines are in clinical trials. The FDA will review the results of these trials before approving COVID-19 vaccines for use. But because there is an urgent need for COVID-19 vaccines and the FDA's vaccine approval process can take months to years, the FDA will first be giving emergency use authorization to COVID-19 vaccines based on less data than is normally required. The data must show that the vaccines are safe and effective before the FDA can give emergency use authorization. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine The FDA has given emergency use authorization to the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Data has shown that the vaccine starts working soon after the first dose and has an efficacy rate of 95% seven days after the second dose. This means that about 95% of people who get the vaccine are protected from becoming seriously ill with the virus. This vaccine is for people age 16 and older. It requires two injections given 21 days apart. Moderna vaccine The FDA has given emergency use authorization to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Data has shown that the vaccine has an efficacy rate of 94.1%. This vaccine is for people age 18 and older. This vaccine requires two injections given 28 days apart. Both the Pfizer/BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines use messenger RNA (mRNA). Coronaviruses have a spike-like structure on their surface called an S protein. COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give cells instructions for how to make a harmless piece of an S protein. After vaccination, cells begin making the protein pieces and displaying them on cell surfaces. Your immune system will recognize that the protein doesn't belong there and begin building an immune response and making antibodies.
Correct but they will not get as sick as someone that has no vaccination. Thus, those vaccinated have minimized the severe impact of Covid-19 if they were to become infected...increasing their chance of having mild / no symptoms...increasing their chance of survival. wrbtrader
