Parents with children under 5 shared what access to a COVID-19 vaccine for their kids means for them and their families.
Dr. Patel is a pediatric critical care doctor and mom to a 2-year-old toddler.
"I was very excited. I probably let out a few curse words in my office, loudly to myself. It is just a relief. "It has been rough. We have two school aged kids and never knew when or what they were bringing home. It was like playing Russian roulette. "It has been extremely hard for all of us. My daughter was so excited to get vaccinated the first chance she could get it — despite the fact she isa fan of shots — but then was frustrated because she continued to have to turn down certain opportunities and invitations because her brothers were still not protected. As everyone has returned to 'normal,' our family has continued to mask, dine outdoors, and turned down invitations to events that may be higher risk.
"I will make the soonest possible appointments, and I hope to allow myself to feel some joy that our kids will finally have protection from serious infection from covid. But honestly, I need to see them get the vaccines first.""While I'm happy that kids under 5 finally have an option, in my opinion this is coming way too late. The needs of working parents and caregivers of young children have been largely ignored during the pandemic.
