This weekend we drove almost 600 km to go to #Baiersbronn to get our 3.5 year old vaccinated with #Pfizer #Offlabel.
We left Friday afternoon to stay at the vaccination center and hotel after a 5 hour drive from Switzerland 🇨🇭

With talks throughout Europe of dropping mask mandates and no clear action towards mitigation measures like ventilation or CO2 measurements (#COVIDisAirborne), it has become clear that no one is willing to wait for the U5s to get vaccinated to get back to pre-pandemic life

We made up our minds after reading about families that had done the same on the FB from @ImmunizeUnder5s and contacted @U12Schutz to help us with the organisation. We were offered the #Baiersbronn centres so we signed up with @regiopraxis. Everything sorted in just a few days ✅

Our 3.5 year old didn’t even cry with the shot. Never had arm pain (couldn’t even remember on which arm he had gotten the 💉 after a few hours), no fever, no redness, nothing. After the 5 hour drive home he asked if we could go to the park 🥴🤸🏻🌳

We had the pleasure of meeting and getting vaccinated by @WCGvM, who answered all of our questions about dosage, side effects and his experience with #offlabelU5. A great professional we hope to meet again!

We have to thank everyone involved for the impressive and smooth organisation 🙏🏼: @U12Schutz for helping us find a vaccination Center and all the professionals at @regiopraxis for dedicating their time to help us protect our children! Dankeschön 😊

Thanks as well to @SWRpresse for being interested in the reasons that push some people to travel hundreds of km and even to another country with young children to try and compensate for a system that has failed us as parents and citizens🤦🏻
🎥 Looking forward to the documentary!

We will be back in a few weeks, this time even more convinced that we are doing the best for our child. The hundreds of families that have and will travel to Baiersbronn share our same feelings, until we get a solution for children without COVID 💉 options #VaccinesforAll
