I do hope that whoever is looking out for vaccine issues for you and your son at least do recognize that the mRNA vaccines may not have a parallel to vaccines that have caused previous reactions and will look more closely at trying to identify the reasons for the previous reaction before blanketly avoid any vaccination. The same issues experienced before may simply not apply here.
 

Thank you.  We haven’t yet discussed this with my son’s pediatrician but my husband is a physician and, with cases coming down, doesn’t see the point of taking the risk of the COVID vaccine given the nature of the reaction.  With everything changing daily, I’m not going to start worrying about it until December.  Besides, I have a fully refundable suite booked at Universal for the same days as the cruise just in case.  

Thank you for the posting that link.  We’re scheduled on the 2/11 cruise on the Independence.  Unfortunately, my 13 year old had a vaccine reaction last year and won’t be getting the COVID vaccine.  Ironically, I just got a survey from Royal Caribbean which asked some questions about my feelings about cruising, importance of home port, and my vaccine status (I am fully vaccinated), but they never asked about family members.  I guess they assume that if 1 person in a family is vaccinated, everyone eligible will be.
