1. Though fully vaccinated, Lt.Gov. Peggy Flanagan caught COVID

From her 8 year old daughter, who contracted it at school. Kids are carrying this.

2. Yes, they are.

They're not only capable of infecting each other, but teachers and staff and bringing it home to parents and grandparents. I can remember getting inoculations in school, don't ask me what they were - but lots of kids were getting them and I don't remember it being a big deal at all.

3. Which is why kids should get vaccinated.

I remember the Sugar Cube with the Polio vaccine that was at school. I still bear my Smallpox scar from when I was 6 or 7.

4. Same here.

I can even remember getting a shot fpr something and running back to my classroom after my buddy that I went with passed out!

And I got the smallpox vaccine as a very small child. My mother told me that she was given the choice of my getting it on my thigh so it wouldn't show on my arm where kids had traditionally gotten it. So that's where mine is.
