COVID-19 vaccines: Are they truly less effective for kids?

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer have been available for kids 5-11 for a few months now, but a couple of recent studies about the vaccines' effectiveness has sounded some alarms. We asked Dr. Jennifer Hamilton, Professor of Family, Community and Preventative Medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine to come on the podcast and dig into the studies, talk about what was found, and get proper context for those findings. We also asked some other questions about kids and vaccines, like -- will we see boosters for young kids? If so, when should we expect them? Will all the vaccines be available for the youngest kids, or just one or two of them? And with these studies in mind, what do doctors and public health officials want parents to know about the vaccines and kids?
