Questions for clinicians have been flooding in as the Covid-19 vaccination has been made available to children aged 5 to 11. Many parents want to know where they can get the long-awaited vaccine – and where they can get it quickly. Other queries come from parents who are concerned about their children’s safety and effectiveness. Yes, it is safe for children aged 5 to 11, according to Dr. Adriana Cadilla, a pediatric infectious disease expert at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando, Florida, and the mother of two children vaccinated on Saturday. Cadilla and most Pediatricians are recommending the vaccine to their patients, according to Cadilla.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for emergency use in children ages 5 to 11. It is the only Covid vaccine approved for children in the United States. It was said that it was 90.7 percent effective in preventing symptomatic Covid and had no severe side effects in the 3,100 children who received it. According to the FDA, arm pain, weariness, headache, muscle aches, joint pain, chills, fever, and nausea were among the most commonly reported side effects, and most of them subsided within a few days.
There isn’t even a clear biologic link between the vaccine and the disease. There’s not a general reason that, or theory why, a vaccine of any kind should have an effect on fertility. On the other hand, Doctors are aware that Covid might cause significant difficulties in unvaccinated pregnant women, according to Sick-Samuels. We’ve seen that women who develop Covid infection while pregnant are more likely to have the challenges, premature delivery, and challenges with their pregnancy and neonatal course, she explained. We also know that the vaccine is quite effective in preventing these problems.
