That way they will be less likely to contract Covid and bring it home.

How many times did we tell our parents growing up,' this is not fair,' and our parents would tell us' life is not fair ?' for kids, this pandemic is the ultimate' life is not fair.' We need to let them know we are doing whatever we can to help them.

It's fine to play with the neighbors' kids, but only outside in the yard, not inside in the playroom or in the bedroom or anything like that, where there is closer indoor contact -- which is a bigger problem.

Try to think of creative ways that kids can play together but limit their exposure.

I've told them the virus kind of grew up and has gotten a little bit stronger, so we have to fight a little bit harder.

So the concern is that somebody would get a negative antibody response and think they are not protected. Or the reverse maybe they have antibodies, but their T cells don't function very well and they then have false confidence that they are protected.

The chance that a person who happened to be a nonresponder to the vaccine would come in contact with those diseases is very low, the reason why we are seeing more breakthrough infections with Covid is because there are so many unvaccinated people.

Again, even if the vaccine isn't offering full protection it is offering a lot of protection, even when they do not work as well in patients who are immunocompromised, they do provide some protection. That's why it's up to the rest of us to get vaccinated because we want to protect those people, the fragile and the elderly, and everyone else.

If we want breakthrough cases to stop, then we need to have everybody else get vaccinated, so there's no virus in circulation and then it won't matter anymore.

So please, I can not say this enough.
