@Pseudorandom75 @MamaWeasleyy Haha oh man so what’s a pregnant mom of a 4 year old and 2 year old to do, due right before Halloween?? 😵‍💫 they’re in daycare but will be at the beach at the 4w mark so they’ll prob get shot 2 at 5w anyway

[Lisa Foreman @foremanlisa]

@MamaWeasleyy Is there a benefit (increased antibody levels) to spacing out beyond the 4w for Moderna? Is there any chance there’s harm in it (outside of delaying immunity)?

[Lisa Foreman @foremanlisa]

@MamaWeasleyy Do you know which sites yet!? Anyone from Burke, VA? They asked me not to call since it’ll slow them down. But I’m having a hard time waiting 😄

[Bill Hartman, MD, PhD @hartman_bill]

Must evaluate things were right & wrong

A big “wrong” is youngest kids still don’t have a #COVID19 #vaccine 18 mo after adults

Made worse by 2 things:

1) False narrative that COVID doesn’t affect kids

2) No parameters in place to protect the kids

#ImmunizeUnder5s

@MamaWeasleyy And people who didn’t vote!

[Bill Hartman, MD, PhD @hartman_bill]

#COVID19 infected millions of children, ~1/3 have #LongCovid

427 kids have died

@moderna_tx turned in their under 5 data weeks ago, @Pfizer had press release today

Both will be reviewed by @US_FDA on 6/15

The review was to be ASAP?

Many questions!

The kids deserve better

[Mad Martigan @MaddMardigan88]

Still "in the coming weeks" for Pfizer under 5. They will not be submitting within a week of Moderna who completed their application on May 9. Time to move up the @moderna_tx VRPAC as @DrCaliff_FDA promised.

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Now that Moderna has submitted all pediatric data to @US_FDA, we urge an immediate, transparent and thorough review. Families of children under 5 have waited a long time for the reassurance of a safe and effective vaccine.

[Bill Hartman, MD, PhD @hartman_bill]

It is not an option to do nothing.

Waiting to review the #vaccine data vs #COVID19 leaves children at risk. Most kids will do well, true - but some will not. Rare doesn’t mean never.

Give parents the choice to #immunizeunder5s. https://t.co/35qAmqT3Ib

[Emily Galvin-Almanza @GalvinAlmanza]

@moderna_tx @BarclaysCIB Yeah if you were on the fence about whether to talk about under 5 vaccines, can we push you to the talking-about-it side of the fence?

Waiting for @CDCDirector to announce as soon as pools open this summer we can take the flotation devices off little kids who do not know how to swim whenever drownings in a county fall below a certain number determined by the @CDCgov

[Dorry Segev @Dorry_Segev]

If you're thinking the new CDC mask guidance is premature, ignores prevention, ignores long Covid, ignores the tens of millions with compromised immune systems or not eligible for vaccines, and ignores the risk of new variants... Well, sadly, you're right.

[Lynn Goldman @drlynngoldman]

No Leana. CDC decides on the basis of public health science and protecting of all of us and not political pressure. There is no clear off ramp… this is the end of a surge … not the end of the pandemic. 1000s died daily. Let’s honor those lives and prepare for the next one.

@MamaWeasleyy Refreshing nonstop 🤪

There is a moral urgency to protect all students & staff, including those who are most vulnerable.

@MamaWeasleyy This morning, I was told roughly 3 months after the first shot for the Pfizer trial, but dose wasn't confirmed. (Age 2-5)

[Amy Miller @amymillerz]

@KSteffner @pfizer @DrWoodcockFDA @CDCDirector @FDASpox @ScottGottliebMD If #pfizer has to start over from scratch like their dog ate their homework, then we should definitely push for @US_FDA to stop blocking @moderna_tx from having a chance to compete. Please vax my kid already! #immunizeunder5s #TeamModerna4Kids #VaxU5 #offlabelU5

[Kirsten Steffner, MD @KSteffner]

maybe others smarter than me can weigh in. seems borderline unethical to keep kids in the 3 mcg trial arm if the data is so bad that Pfizer is now enrolling for higher dosing regimens? @margbrennan @Surgeon_General @JeromeAdamsMD @Bob_Wachter @Neurofourier @EricTopol @DrEricDing

[Lisa Foreman @foremanlisa]

@KSteffner @pfizer @DrWoodcockFDA @CDCDirector @FDASpox @ScottGottliebMD 100%. Thank you for asking this.
