My daughter got her first dose of Moderna in Germany today. That is a relief for my wife and I. 3 weeks she gets the second dose. Hopefully we can visit there or somewhere else this Summer. It's been a year and a half since I last saw her in person.

My understanding is that they really have seen less efficacy after the first dose. There have been nursing home and hospital studies (the hospital study is widely published so you should be able to look it up). Here's a nursing home study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2104849?query=featured_homeAnyone know what the data shows regarding vaccine efficacy over time from the first shot for vaccines, in particular Pfizer?
The data I've seen (see chart below from the FDA) seems to indicate that in as little as 10-14 days after the first shot you already have a significant resistance to picking up COVID. To me this makes sense, since single shot vaccines like the J&J are deemed effective after 14 days.
Trying to judge the amount of risk for those who are partially vaccinated vs fully vaccinated.

Same here...I am not anti mask and won't argue if a store I frequent requires one, but otherwise, I don't see the point in wearing a mask anymore.
Got my second Moderna shot Wednesday morning. As with the first shot my arm was sore that evening. Unlike the first shot I woke up the next morning with a mild fever and general soreness/fatigue with occasional chills. Symptoms went away after 12 hours. Not a fun experience, but not as bad as my ex who felt awful for three days even with constantly alternating Tylenol and Advil.Fully vaccinated now! Second shot done Tuesday, surprising how painless they are. Had a pretty good headache the following day and felt a bit feverish about 24 hours later for about 12 hours. Wish I would have checked my temp to be certain. I do know about 11pm last night (@36 hours from shot) I started sweating a little and a short while later felt normal again. Oh, I did have two 'chills' the night before (night of the shot) that seem to come out of nowhere, but it was a few minutes apart and over so I almost forgot. Arm a tiny bit sore as well, but less than the first!
This is horrifying. Is it just people delaying shots because they are delaying pediatric well visits or a real spike in anti-vaxxerism?Childhood immunization during the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas

The infant (neonate) vaccination rates are sky high (all time high), so it's the former. It's mentioned in the paper I think. Access and disruption are the real problems.This is horrifying.

It looks like there's a bigger drop in the 12-18 month shots than the shots given at birth. So that also points to more of delayed doctors visits than anti-vaxxerism. Hopefully that's what it is.probably more of the first than the second.
Parents were home schooling so weren't required to vaccinate children for school and taking them to a doctors office to get a vaccine for something else would expose them to covid-19 (no Covid vaccine for kids). So I think people were sheltering in place (stay at home) to avoid all illnesses.
I can't say what the split is but I imagine this is mostly just one of the many after effects of Covid, not a major change in
attitude towards vaccines.
Presumably vaccinations will resume as parents feel safe to leave the house.

My brother who regularly gets allergy shots indicated that he could "feel" his J&J shot going in over a several second duration. Vastly different than my Moderna shot where I barely even knew it was happening and seemed like it only lasted a second.I got the J&J vaccine, but I found it burned going in. My partner said it felt about 1/2 as bad as Lovenox (she's about the most stoic person I've ever known, lives with chronic pain from nerve damage 24/7, but she yelled at the top of her lungs every injection of Lovenox when she needed it for 2 weeks after surgery).
