Surely someone at the CDC has to remember the small clear plastic covers
they used to tape over the vaccination sites on children's arms. The bubble
has 2-3 air holes in it, was about 1/4" high, and had two tabs about 1/2"
to 3/4" long so they could be taped to the skin with adhesive tape. Keeps
clothing off - keeps little fingers off - perfect for all moms, not just
nursing ones. I had one. It helped keep me from scratching it when it
itched. You don't want a bandage. It would soak up the vaccine, break the
blister that rises, a mess to take care of, I think.
I saw an interview on FOX News with two women who had the vaccine as part
of an (CDC?)experiment. One had never been vaccinated before and the other
received the original vaccine as child. The younger one said her arm ached
and itched VERY badly, and she felt sick for a couple of days, but went to
work anyway. The older woman said her reaction wasn't that bad, but her
description tells me it was worse than what any of us experienced with the
original vaccine in the '50's. If memory serves, we got ours beginning at
age 10, with a booster at age 15. It was an irritating itch. I don't
remember soreness. Certainly not enough to keep a child from school or play
or a good night's sleep. Had to keep it dry for 2-3 days until it scabbed
over.
But then, the virus has been "doctored" or weaponized now.
