I am mindful of Poisoned Youth's request not to start a new Covid thread, so please try to only respond to the situation I will relate.
My wife moved to the U.S. with her parents at age 10 from Brazil. She still has family there, we were last there about 10 years ago. You're probably aware the Covid situation there is pretty bad. Vaccinations are hard to come by still, and those under 21 are not eligible. My wife's cousin and her husband both have had covid already. Thankfully they had mild cases and are fine. They have checked and called us to tell us they are going to travel here in July to get vaccines for their children, aged 14 thru 19. They say they will have to isolate in Mexico for 2 weeks and be tested before boarding the plane to get here.
I'm wondering if anyone may have knowledge of any issues we should be aware of. Since they have to test negative after a 2 week quarantine to get here, I'm not worried about them staying with us. We are both vaccinated. They would like to get the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, so they wouldn't have to stay here several weeks. They do have jobs they need to get back to. We are in North Carolina but they are flying into Newark, N.J. We have family up there. They would like to see New York, we thought to take them on the Circle Line trip, assuming it is open.
I see signs at the pharmacies here in NC stating vaccines are available with no appointments. They don't say which vaccine. Can I expect the same in NJ? I think Pfiser is the only one approved for under 21, is that correct?
If anyone has thoughts on issues I should be aware of, I'd appreciate hearing them.
Thanks
