Episode 12:Breaking Down COVID-19 Vaccines for Ages 5-11
Host Suzie Lawry-Hall discusses COVID-19 vaccines for ages 5-11. Officials hope expanding vaccine eligibility will help protect younger children and help slow the spread of COVID-19. North State mom and teacher Melanie Perrin hopes for the same. That’s why she and her husband decided to have their 8- and 11-year-old children vaccinated. She and her kids, Andrew and Abby, share their experiences. Andy Miller, M.D., Enloe’s Community Health Physician, joins to discuss the pediatric COVID vaccines, how they differ from those used for ages 12 and up, how to get your child vaccinated, and more.
